Cross Word
by Roger Montgomery ã
People trying to solve a puzzle
What seven-letter word means cheered?
Will they applaud when they find the answer?
In this game called cross word.
It holds a lot of people's attention
What word stands for absurd?
It's ridiculous how much we stress
A game we call cross word.
Will we find the answer?
Or will anyone else even care?
Will Jesus be concerned when we pray?
Does He know about cross words?
The people on the ground seemed unconcerned
The opposite of faith may be fear
What a horror that would be
If we couldn't solve the game of cross word.
The people cheered at His death
Since then millions more have cheered
Did they root for Him to die?
Did they give Him a cross word?
Well, people keep playing their games
To the uninitiated, that might sound weird
It's strange how people look at life
Some live and die without a cross word.
Maybe we just didn't pay attention
But inside us something should stir
It should awaken in us a feeling of relief
When we finally solve the game of cross word.
