love is a cross you bear - the isaacs lyrics
deep down in texas
some years ago
there was a poor preacher
that i came to know
he’d been doing god’s work
for most of his life
but what he was known for most was his wife
she was as pretty as she was wild
she gave him no comfort
she gave him no child
she set him no table
she baked him no bread
and once when i asked him about it he said
love is a cross you bear
a th*rny crown you wear
i ain’t no saint i never was
but brother she knows not what she does
love is a cross you bear
soon i moved on and
soon i lost track
but one night in denver
it all came back
in a beautiful church
with a melodious choir
there he was preaching his brimstone and fire
and then this angel
that i’d seen before
came out and joined him
in his holy war
she looked at her husband
and as the bell rang
she lifted her angelic voice up and sang
love is a cross you bear
a th*rny crown you wear
once i was lost, but now i’m found
once i was weak and let love down
love is a cross you bear
as i left that church
amazed as can be
a great revelation
came unto me
of all of the good things
this life is made of
the best is the sweat from the labor of love
love is a cross you bear
a th*rny crown you wear
sinner repent and make amends
love has been dying for your sins
love is a cross you bear
(repeat)
