Introduction
The Statler Brothers have a way of weaving stories that touch the heart, and “On The Other Side Of The Cross” is no exception. This song feels like a conversation between old friends—those moments when you sit down and reflect on life’s trials and the hope that carries you through. It’s a reminder that no matter the struggles we face, there’s a promise of peace and redemption waiting on the other side.
The lyrics are simple yet profound, speaking directly to anyone who has ever felt the weight of the world on their shoulders. It’s a song that doesn’t just tell a story—it feels like it’s sharing a piece of wisdom that the Statlers have carried with them. When they sing about the cross, it’s not just a symbol of faith but also a beacon of hope and love.
The harmonies are rich, as always with the Statlers, blending their voices into something almost heavenly. There’s a sense of calm and assurance in the way they deliver each line, as if they’re reassuring you that everything will be alright, even if it doesn’t seem like it now. It’s the kind of song that makes you stop and think, but also leaves you with a sense of peace.
“On The Other Side Of The Cross” is more than just a gospel tune; it’s a testament to enduring faith and the comfort it brings. It’s the kind of song you turn to when you need a little light in the darkness, a gentle reminder that there’s something beautiful waiting on the other side of the struggles we face.

Lyrics
There were tears in the eyes of Jesus there were nails in the palms of his hands
There were thorns in his brow and only God could know how
Much pain he could withstand
There was blood all around the hillside as a mother mourned her loss
And we all stood to gain from the heavenly pain on the other side of the cross
On the other side of the cross the side that no one could see
On the spirit of things yet to come on the future of you and me
And what he gave that day on the cross not one bit of love has been lost
Hold my hand stand up and say if you were there on that day
On the other side of the cross…
