1 Verse:
I take up my cross Jesus I choose you
Oh this is my joy it's not ’cause I have to
'Cause you loved me first and you gave your life
I live in this freedom 'cause you paid the price
I take up my cross Jesus I choose you

Chorus:
If this is my burden to bear
If this is the yoke that you give me
Then I don’t want anything else
I take up my cross help me to carry it well

That was your story so let it be mine
I've counted the cost it still doesn’t sway me

Chorus:
If this is my burden to bear
If this is the yoke that you give me
Then I don’t want anything else
I take up my cross help me to carry it well

Help me to carry it well

You are the joy set before me
You are the joy set before me
