There's No Cross That Love Can't Bear...Holiday Caring

Love Bears All..
Once a mother stood on a corner
Tears betrayed her painted smile
She was trading in her halo
For just enough to feed her child


Then an old man, cold and hungry
Saw her crying, so he stopped
And he gave her his one possession
A shining silver pocket watch
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

So the old man found a park bench
Crawled inside and went to sleep
He lay down 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
by John Berry

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
—John 13:34-35
