Sweet Jesus

There are no roses at the cross

There are no smiles only tears

There are no roses at the cross

But my sweet Jesus is there

There are no roses sweet Jesus

There are no smiles only tears

There are no roses sweet Jesus

At every cross you are there

No way to carry this alone

No way to do this on my own

Weighed down in sin and misery

Jesus, please carry it with me

There are no roses at the cross

But saving grace is surely there

There are no roses at the cross

But my sweet Jesus is there

No way to carry this alone

No way to do this on my own

Weighed down in sin and misery

Jesus, please carry it with me

There is hope in my sweet Jesus

Faith will dry up all my tears

There is hope in my sweet Jesus

That I will rise from my despair

Praise the name of sweet Jesus

For every cross that we bear

There are no roses at the cross

But my sweet Jesus is there
