Couplet 1

I could take You to a harbor
With freedom's torch ablaze
Or a blue Pacific island
Where a tattered
Flag was raised
I could take You to a
Rolling grassy field
Where rows of markers
Speak of sacrifice

Pré refrain

I could take You to
Where the towers fell
To the echoes of a
Thousand last I love You's
And goodbyes

Refrain

And I'm sure that
You'd be moved to tears
By the weight of
What You saw
You'd view those acts of courage
And could only stand in awe
And I know that
You would think
You'd seen
A picture of true love
But if You want to see it all
Let me take You
To the cross

Interlude

Let me take You
To the cross
Let me take You
To the cross

Couplet 2

So let me take
You to a hillside
A scene You won't forget
See a man who agonizes
With the cost of ev'ry breath
Come and touch the nails
That pierce His feet and hands
Watch Him as He fights
To see it through

Pré refrain

Though His reasons
Are hard to understand
If You dare to stay
There long enough
To know it was for You

Refrain

And I'm sure that
You'd be moved to tears
By the weight of
What You saw
You'd view those acts of courage
And could only stand in awe
Only then could
You declare
That You had seen true love
So if You want to see it all
Let me take
You to the cross

Refrain modifié

Let me take You to the place
That fills Your emptiness inside
There's no other place
Where You can go
To find eternal life

Refrain

And I'm sure that
You'd be moved to tears
By the weight of
What You saw
You'd view those acts of courage
And could only stand in awe
And I know that
You would think
You'd seen
A picture of true love
But if You want to see it all
Let me take You
To the cross

Pont

Where mercy there was great
And grace was free
Pardon there was
Multiplied to me
There my burdened soul
Found liberty so
Let me take You
To the cross
