Wilburn Brothers - Take Up Thy Cross 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...
