Lyrics

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..
