I thought she was havin' trouble, so I stopped to lend a hand.
I didn't see that wooden cross behind her Chevy minivan.
I said sorry ma'am she said that's alright, most folks drive on past.
Then she told me the history even though I didn't ask.
She said It's been 14 years today since I took his name.
And a year ago December when we got that freezin' rain.
I'm not one to blame God, but at first I took it bad.
Now I've learned to count my blessings, every moment that we had.
I don't come to mourn his dying, but to celebrate his life.
Ya know, death can never stop a love between a husband and a wife.
And there's something 'bout me coming here when I'm feeling lost.
When I need to find my peace of mind, I just come to the cross.
Well I got back in my pickup truck and I drove away in tears.
Thanked God for a family and every moment we've had here.
Cause who knows what tomorrow holds or what's waiting round the bend?
And every time I pass a wooden cross, I hear those words again.
I don't come to mourn his dying, but to celebrate his life.
Ya know, death can never stop a love between a husband and a wife.
But there's something 'bout me coming here when I'm feeling lost.
When I need to find my peace of mind, I just come to the cross.
Oh, I just come to the cross.
