There's No Cross That Love Won't Bear Lyrics - John Berry

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 

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 park bench 

Crawled inside and went to sleep 

He lay down 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
