 Once a mother  stood on a corner
 Tears betrayed  her painted smile
 She was trading  in her halo
 For just enough  to feed her child
 Then an old  man, cold and hungry
 Saw her crying  and he stopped
 And He gave  her his one possession
 A shining silver  pocket watch
There's  no cross  that love  won't bear
 And when  you're down  to your  last prayer
It  will be  the saving grace
 In the depths  of your  despair
 There's no cross  that love  won't bear
 So the old man found a dumpster,
 Crawled inside and went to sleep
 As he drifted into slumber
 He prayed the Lord, his soul to keep
 Then the mother with her halo
 Came to him in a dream
 And he woke up in a mansion
 His silver watch there on it's chain
 There's no cross that love won't bear
 And when you're down to your last prayer
 It will be the saving grace
 In the depths of your despair
 There's no cross that love won't bear
 No, there's no cross that love won't bear
 end on G

Once a [F]mother stood on a [C]corner
Tears bet[G]rayed her painted [C]smile
She was [F]trading in her [C]halo
For just enoug[G]h to feed her [C]child
Then an [F]old man, cold and [C]hungry
Saw her [G]crying and he [C]stopped
And He [F]gave her his one poss[C]ession
A shining [G]silver pocket w[C]atch
[C]There's no [G]cross that [F]love won't [G]bear
And [C]when you're [G]down to [F]your last [G]prayer
[C]It will [G]be the [F]saving [G]grace
In the [C]depths of [G]your d[F]espair  [G]
There's no [C]cross that [G]love won't bear

So the old man found a dumpster,
Crawled inside and went to sleep
As he drifted into slumber
He prayed the Lord, his soul to keep

Then the mother with her halo
Came to him in a dream
And he woke up in a mansion
His silver watch there on it's chain

There's no cross that love won't bear
And when you're down to your last prayer
It will be the saving grace
In the depths of your despair
There's no cross that love won't bear

No, there's no cross that love won't bear

end on G
