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 dispair

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 dispair

There's no cross that love won't bear



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