Take Up Thy Cross
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Take up Thy cross and follow me I hear the blessed Saviour call
How can I make a lesser sacrifice when Jesus gave his all
[ piano ]
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
Take up Thy cross...
