I see you with that cross of gold
That is hung around your neck
Does that mean that your a Christian
Well I had no idea

Believe me when I say to you
I'm not here to judge you of your sins
But that cross you wear means much to me
So where do I begin

First of all do you know the one
And why it is he died
And why it's sometimes referred to as
The Sacrificial Cross of Christ

And what about the countless followers
Who gladly gave their lives
To spread the truth that they held to
The Cross of Jesus Christ

Some might wonder and disagree
Yet still find it rather sad
That at thirty three one would willing
Give up what little life they had

It wasn't what he gave up
But what it was he gained
It wasn't for himself he died
But for the sinful plight of man

You see in ourselves there is no hope
Nothing that we can
Do to earn what we don't deserve
In this state of fallen man

That is why it is he came
To justify the lost
And remind us of the Fathers love
In that Sacrificial Cross

So you may have only thought of it
As a piece of jewelry that you wear
Next time you hang it around your neck
Remember what it is and why I care
