The Cross on the wall

"The Cross on the Wall"
Verse 1:
Her world was breaking right in two
Mama and daddy saying they were through
And there was this man in her mother's life
A stranger standing in the wreckage of the fight
She was fifteen with a heart full of pain
Didn't blame him but she couldn't explain
All the anger that a young girl feels
When everything she knew becomes unreal
Chorus:
But sometimes love speaks without a sound
A cross upon the wall when your world's falling down
She never said a word but her heart held on tight
To the man who showed her Jesus in the darkest night
One simple act of faith, standing strong and tall
She'd never forget the cross on the wall
Verse 2:
He saw the storm behind her eyes
Knew she was hurting, didn't try to hide
One afternoon while she was gone
He hung a wooden cross where she'd see it all along
It was something she had wanted there
A quiet answer to an unspoken prayer
And when she saw it she just turned away
But that cross spoke louder than words could say
Chorus:
'Cause sometimes love speaks without a sound
A cross upon the wall when your world's falling down
She never said a word but her heart held on tight
To the man who showed her Jesus in the darkest night
One simple act of faith, standing strong and tall
She'd never forget the cross on the wall
Bridge:
Now her babies call him Papa, running through the yard
Her daddy's still her hero, he'll always have her heart
But the man who hung that cross earned his place as well
By loving her in silence, more than words could tell
Final Chorus:
Yeah, sometimes love speaks without a sound
A cross upon the wall when your world's falling down
She never had to say it, but he always knew
That simple act of kindness saw her through
One simple act of faith, standing strong and tall
She'd never forget the cross on the wall
Tag:
No, she'd never forget
The cross on the wall
