Take Up Your Cross
by Guardian

Album: Sunday Best

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 glorybound

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
Here we go!

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
Whoa, 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
Everybody sing!
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
Sing it one more time!

Take up your cross and follow Jesus
Calvary is the road that freed us
He died and rose again to make the way
Whoa, 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
And when we're done we'll see him face to face
And when we're done we'll see him face to face
