There's Not A Crown (without A Cross) Lyrics

To every life there comes the question of the heart
For extraordinary pain
Struggle greets you on the mountains that you climb
A war within the soul for every step you gain.
Remember when the winds of sorrow strike you down
And leave you hopeless and afraid
The proof of battles is the wounds that you will bare
The scars that build you strong for the journey that you make!

There's not a victory without a fight,
There's not a sunrise without a night,
There's not a purchase without a cost,
There's not a crown without a cross!
Uh, without a cross no, no, no!

No greater anguish ever came upon a man
Than when the Son of Glory died
The sins of all us were nails that pierced His hands
An act of sacrifice, the pain within the price! His crown was fashioned from His suffering and travail

Shone like the sun when He arose
He showed us triumph even when all hope was lost
He carried out a plan so that every man will know:

There's not a victory without a fight,
There's not a sunrise without a night,
There's not a purchase without a cost,
There's not a crown without a cross!

God will guide you when you cling to His hand
Strength will find you when you know how to stand
To persevere to the end!
There's not a victory without a fight,
There's not a sunrise without a night,
There's not a purchase without a cost,
There's not a crown without a cross!
Oh, and there's not a crown without a cross!
