Jason Crabb There's Not a Crown (Without a Cross) lyrics

To every life there comes a question of the heart 

For extraordinary pain

Struggle greets you on the mountains that you climb

A war within the soul for every step you gain. 

Remember when the winds of sorrow strike you down

And leave you hopeless and afraid 

The proof of battle is the wounds that you will bare 

The scars that built you strong for the journey that you make! 



Chorus: 
There's not a victory without a fight, 

There's not a sunrise without a night, 

There's not a purchase without a cost,
There's not a crown without a cross! 

Uh, without a cross no, no, no!



No greater anguish ever came upon a man 

Than when the Son of Glory died 

The sins of all us were nails that pierced His hands

An act of sacrifice, the pain within the price!


His crown was fashioned from His suffering and travail

Shone like the sun when He arose

He showed us triumph even when the war was lost

He carried out a plan so that every man will know: 



Chorus: 
There's not a victory without a fight, 

There's not a sunrise without a night, 

There's not a purchase without a cost, 

There's not a crown without a cross!



God will guide you when you cling to His hand 

Strength will find you when you know how to stand

To persevere to the end! 



Chorus: 
There's not a victory without a fight,

There's not a sunrise without a night,

There's not a purchase without a cost, 

There's not a crown without a cross! 

Oh, and there's not a crown without a cross!
