Bill Anderson - 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.

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 and follow me

I hear the blessed Saviour call

How can I make a lesser sacrifice

When Jesus gave his all...
