The McKameys - close to the cross

[ddhnlhkmh]

I’m looking for the lyrics to Close to the Cross, But Far From the Blood.

The first part of the chorus goes, “you can be close to the cross but far from the blood. Sitting at the feet of Jesus but never changed by His love. ….”

Four cruel men looking up at a bleeding, dying lamb
a king, a prince, Almighty God, He is the Great I Am
Heaven’s greatest scene unfolding looking on the cross He bore
yet they gambled on the garment that He wore
A seamless robe was greater value than redemption’s cleansing flood
They were close to the cross but far from the blood

Sitting in a sanctuary, hearing robed choirs sing
Viewing emblems of His suffering but it doesn’t mean a thing
They will sing of His forgiveness that they’ve never yet received
listening to a word they don’t believe
and they will leave this house of worship never changed by His love
They are close to the cross but far from the blood

You can be close to the cross but far from the blood
sitting at the feet of Jesus but never changed by His love
Never cleansed by the fountain of His precious cleansing flood
you can be close to the cross but far from the blood

A Roman soldier standing near with a spear in his hand
He’s been hardened by his bloody work, no fear of any man
Jesus cries “It is finished” and the temple veil is torn
mountains shake, demons tremble, a dying thief reborn
This hardened man looed to the cross and realized God’s love
He was close to the cross and he was under the blood

You can be close to the cross and under the blood
sitting near the feet of Jesus and really changed by His love
Forgiveness is still flowing from His precious cleansing flood
You can be close to the cross and under the blood
