This is another song that Mark wrote.
This is the only proper song he ever wrote in his life.
Right here.
You ought to be proud of it.
I know we're proud of you.
Never done anything right before in his life, till he wrote this song right here.
But it's an awful good song.
I'm just aggravating you, just to tease you.
But it's a beautiful song and I want you to listen to every word that it says.
For every cross, there is a crown.
[Ab] [Bb]
[Gm] [Ab] [Eb] [Ab]
[Bb] [Eb] Every step I [Ab] take, I know I'm [Eb]
drawing nearer.
[Ab] For the thoughts of [Bb] worldly wealth [Eb] mean less each day.
[G] The things I used to think were [Cm] so important,
[F] Now they seem to just be [Ab] in the way.
[Bb] [Eb] I'm so glad he offered all of us salvation.
[Ab] For we'd have no [Bb] hope if he had [Eb] not come down.
[Ab] He sees each and [Gb] every heartache, [Eb] every burden [B] that [Cm] we carry.
[F] And he whispers to no train, didn't [Fm] fall [Ab] in [Bb] drop.

[Eb] A [Bb] new world brings victory when I'm [Eb]
[Fm] [Eb] through.
[Ab] I'm [A] still clinging to [Eb] the [B] [Cm] promise.
[Eb] For every [Ab] cross, there [Bb] is [Ab] a crown.
[Eb] But as it should, be [Ab] careful [Eb] how you make it.
There's [Ab] a choice to make [Bb] and you must [Eb] take a stand.
There [G] are a million souls who died without [Cm] salvation.
And [F] they would trade the world away for one [Ab] more [Bb] chance.
The [Eb] greatest miracle [Ab] [Eb] taken for granted
Is [Ab] that the Son of God [Bb] has died for you [Eb] and me.
And though [Ab] the world may too [Eb] ignore him, I must shout [B] [Cm] how I adore him.
Though [F] the devil rages, Jesus, [Fm] I'll [Bb] be.
Though the road is long and hard [Ab] and I may [Eb] stumble,
A new [Bb] world brings victory when I [Eb] am down.
