She's daddy's little girl

Only three years old

All dressed up in her Sunday clothes

He held her hand on bended knee

He said

I need to show you how to find your way home

As they walked along

How sweet the sound

Church bells ringin'

People gathered 'round

Remember this church

And the cross way up there

Sweetheart, if you ever get lost say

Take me to the cross

High upon a steeple

The one where Jesus died for all the lost people

If you can't find home

Know you're not alone

Take me to the cross

As the years went by

Daddy's little girl

Lost herself out in a big, big world

And the day her daddy died

She said I need to know why

Take me to the cross

High upon a steeple

The one where Jesus died for hurting people

If you can't find home

Know you're not alone

Take me to the cross

Now that same little girl

Thirty years gone by

She still knows here daddy's by her side

She raises her little boy

In her father's way

And she smiles

When she hears her son say

Hey, mom

Take me to the cross

High upon a steeple

The one where Jesus died for all the lost people

If you can't find home

Know you're not alone

Take me to the cross

High upon a steeple

The one where Jesus died for all the lost people

If you can't find home

Know you're not alone

Take me to the cross

Mama, take me to the cross

Take me to the cross
