Tell me good brother, are you feeling kind of low?

Your back's a-breaking and your legs are 'bout to go, I know

Tell me good sister, can you take another step?

You wanna lay it down but it just ain't over yet, not until the good lord says so

Don't let your heart be troubled, you know this road is glory, bound

So let's jump up turn around raise our hands and praise the lord,

You gotta take up your cross and follow Jesus

Calvary is the road that freed us

He died and rose again to make the way

Take up your cross and follow Jesus

He guides our steps and he'll never leave us

When we're done, we'll see him face to face

Tell me good people are your skies a-getting gray?

Rain's a-falling, can't face another day,

Everybody needs a little place where they can hide

Take it to the lord and he'll dry those tears you cry

In the sweet by and by

And when those clouds are threatening

He's a shelter from the storm

So let's jump up turn around raise our hands and praise the lord

You gotta take up your cross and follow Jesus

Calvary is the road that freed us

He died and rose again to make the way

Take up your cross and follow Jesus

He guides our steps and he'll never leave us

When we're done, we'll see him face to face

Like moses told ol' pharaoh: You gotta let my people go

You know Jesus came to set the captive free

So let's jump up turn around raise our hands and praise the lord

Take up your cross and follow Jesus

Calvary is the road that freed us

He died and rose again to make the way

Take up your cross and follow Jesus

He guides our steps and he'll never leave us

When we're done, we'll see him face to face
