The Way of the Cross
He called to us, with love so pure and strong
Take up your cross, come follow and belong
Deny yourself, and trust Me on this road
In Christ alone, the full redemption's owed
The way of cross, it leads me all the way home
Through trials and thorns, I know I'm never alone
In the steps of my Savior, I will faithfully abide,
His sacrifice on Calvary, my Guide through every stride
No greater love, has ever touched the earth
Than He laid down, His life to show our worth
If we would follow Him, we too must bear
The cross He's given, each one with humble care
For He endured the shame, the thorns and pain
To break the power of death and every chain
Despising shame, He bore the cost for all
Our hope was won, upon that rugged cross
The narrow road, though hard and full of strife
Is where the Shepherd leads us into life
For every step, His presence is our stay
In Him we die to self and find the way
His yoke is light, His burden's full of grace
He strengthens us, to run the holy race
Through trials of faith, we find our joy anew
In Christ's embrace, His peace will see us through
One day, the cross will finally be laid down
And we'll receive, the glorious victor's crown
With open arms, He'll welcome every one
The faithful saints, redeemed by God's own Son
