They were watching from a distance   And they could not take their eyes from You   You were bleeding, they were weeping   Faithful sisters, they had followed You      They did not understand, they could not see   They were mourning their loss   As the sky turned black and the Earth turned red   At the foot of the Cross      He was standing near Your mother   They were so close, they could hear You sighing   All around them angry voices   Pierced the darkness and You were dying      But they would not leave, they lingered there   No matter the cost   They were staying and they were praying   At the foot of the Cross      Keep me near the Cross, near the Cross   May I never stray so far   That I cannot see what flowed down for me   At the foot of the Cross      Now I'm standing in Your presence   And I cannot take my eyes from You   You have risen, I'm forgiven   Precious Saviour, oh I worship You      No, I'm not looking back   I've heard Your voice and I'm staying here   I've made my choice, for now it's real   Now I kneel at the foot of the Cross      Keep me near the Cross, near the Cross   May I never stray so far   That I cannot see what flowed down for me   At the foot of the Cross      Keep me near the Cross, near the Cross   May I never stray so far   That I cannot see what flowed down for me   At the foot of the Cross
