Take Up Your Cross

 

Take up your cross and follow God
And He will lead the way,
To bring you hope and inner strength
To face each new born day.

Take up your cross and follow God
And cast aside your fear,
For when you need a helping hand
He always will be near.

Take up your cross and cast aside
Your gloom and dark despair,
For He will help to ease the pain
That in your heart you bear.

Take up your cross, be not afraid
However dark your plight,
For God will see you through the storm
And be your guiding light.

~ Harold F. Mohn
