1
“Take up the Cross and follow me.”
I heard it as a fervent plea.
I did not know from whence it came
And yet I knew it was the same.

2
As one that I had heard before
Chose not to listen and ignore.
Those simple words that spoke to me
Promised life eternally.

Refrain 1:
Peace and joy, salvation, too -
The way, dear Lord, to come to You.
This time I took my blinders off,
Opened my eyes, refused to scoff.

3
Though others claimed another way
Would lead to wealth and fame one day.
I bowed my head, I heard Your voice.
I saw the everlasting choice.

4
Releasing thoughts of worldly gain,
I slipped my yoke of daily pain.
Those bonds of earthly sins at last
Were broken, and my fetters cast.

Refrain 2:
Aside, and now, dear Lord, I know
The well-marked path that I should go.
Gladly now I lift my eyes
To answer without guilt or guise.

5
“Show me the way that I should take;
Teach me the life that I should make.
Truly now I see the sign -
The Cross You carry is also mine.”

Coda
The Cross You carry is also mine.
The Cross You carry is also mine.
