Take Up Thy Cross Lyrics - Wilburn Brothers

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...
