Marks of the Cross - Petra cover | Sarah Grace Music

I'm baaaack! After several more months of vocal struggles, I'm finally feeling up to singing again. It's been a tough road, but it sure makes me thankful for the good health I enjoy! (Be thankful...so many people would give so much to have what you do).
Anyway, with that being said, this is an oldie, but a goodie! It's a little out of character for Petra, but I love the stand this song takes for truth and those 'strong convictions' we are called as Christians to live by.
These are the marks of the cross. Do they mark you?

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
These days shallow and feeble
Resolve abound
And true devotion and passionate fervor
Are seldom found
But there are those
Who often feel they're all alone
Those of whose identities are known
By the mark of the crucified Son
[Chorus]
Praying, caring, loving, sharing
These are the marks of the cross
Oh, giving, bearing, feeling, daring
To lay down your life on the line
Forgetting what you leave behind
And willing to suffer the loss
Of the marks of the cross
[Verse 2]
These days the search
For detachment and solitude
Lead to retreating to fortresses
No one would dare intrude
Then there are those
Whose restless burdens start to show
Those who unmistakably most know
There's no crown 'til we suffer the cross
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
All our identity rests in the knowledge
Of who we're created to be, whoa-whoa...
We are His workmanship, made in His image
For all of creation to see
The marks of His pain and His glory
[Chorus]
