Lyrics
- Verse:
- 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 Christ,
the one I knew
- (key change)
- 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 borne
-
- 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
-
- (key change)
- Verse:
- "Oh, let me bear the cross for thee", I cried, and
low, a cross for me appeared
- The one forgotten I had cast aside, the one so long that I
had feared
- (key change)
- Now this cross I will carry till a crown appears, the way I
journeyed soon shall end
- Then God Himself will wipe away each tear, and friend will
fellowship with friend
-
- Chorus:
- Take up thy cross and follow me, I hear the blessed savior
call
- How can I make a lesser sacrifice.......
-
- Tag:
- When Jesus gave, Jesus gave, my Jesus gave His all!
