Take Up Thy Cross



I walked one day along a country road

And there a stranger journeyed too

Bent low beneath the burden of his load

It was the cross the cross I knew



Chorus:

Take up Thy cross and follow me

I hear the blessed Savior call

How can I make a lesser sacrifice when Jesus gave his all



I cried Lord Jesus and he spoke my name

I saw his hands all bruised and torn

I stooped to kiss away the marks of shame

The shame for me that he had born



Repeat Chorus
