       F                 C
Once a mother stood on a corner
         G                 C
Tears betrayed her painted smile
        F              C
She was trading in her halo
              G             C
For just enough to feed her child
        F                 C
Then an old man, cold and hungry
        G             C
Saw her crying and he stopped
       F                    C    
And He gave her his one possession
          G              C
A shining silver pocket watch
C          G          F          G
There's no cross that love won't bear
    C           G       F         G
And when you're down to your last prayer
C       G      F      G
It will be the saving grace
       C         G     F       G
In the depths of your despair
           C          G          (Intro Riff)
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
