Текст песни From Cradle to Cross to Crown - Roy Acuff

He was born in a manger a small tiny stranger
In a quilt that was carelessly made
Just some boards nailed together not fit for a beggar
Was the place where my Saviour would lay
Down through the ages the people sang praises
For the light of God′s love shining down
As it shines I can see the pathway before me
From cradle to cross to crown
Through the gates of the city crawled a man filled with pity
While bearing the weight of the Tree
As they ruthlessly nailed Him it seemed just Father had failed Him
But He knew what His purpose must be
Down through the ages the people sang praises
For the light of God's love shining down
As it shines I can see the pathway before me
From cradle to cross to crown
It was on Sunday morning, He awoke with the dawning
Shattering death′s mighty hold
Now He's back home in heaven, but soon He'll be coming
Wearing a crown of pure gold
Down through the ages the people sang praises
For the light of God′s love shining down
As it shines I can see the pathway before me
From cradle to cross to crown
