From Chris Driesbach’s CD, On the Road for Jesus, this song reflects Jesus’ talk with his disciples when he says, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." This lower voice version is in the key recorded. A higher voice version is also available. Includes reproducible lyric and lead sheets.
 
Scripture: Matthew 16:21-28, Romans 1:16

Lyrics:
The Lord told his friends he would suffer and die
To save them from the father of lies.
But after three days he would be raised
Take them to heaven, be with them always.

They didn’t understand the things he said now
But they wanted to follow, so he told ‘em how-
"Turn your back on this world, take up your cross,  
Come, follow me, whatever the cost."

Chorus:
Carry the cross, be not ashamed
Children of Christ! Shout out his name!
Lift it up high, to the sky, carry the cross.
Lift it up high, to the sky, carry the cross.

His cross redeems and ours is the way
We drown the desires of our flesh every day.
Our cross is the mark that says we’re his own.
The path of our cross is leading us home.

Speaking the truth isn’t easy to do.
He brought a sword- but he gives peace to you.
Why gain the world and forfeit your soul?
Carry the cross though it may be a lonely road.

(Chorus)

He’ll lift you up though your spirit is broken,
Help you believe, help you keep hopin’.
This life is short, and soon comes the day
Heavenly wings will fly you away.

(Chorus)
