Instead of :
Here is your cross,
Your nails and your hill;
And here is your love,
That lists where it will
what I hear is:
Here is your cross,
Your nails and your hill;
And here is the love,
That lifts where it will
The love is the love for all humankind
The cross will lift where it will and impale the "lover" at whatever spot it chooses. This is a reference to the Christian's duty to "carry one's cross"
