Take up your cross
And follow Jesus
Take up your cross
Every day
Don't be ashamed
To say that you know Him
Count the cost
Then take up your cross
And follow Him

I wanna talk to you for a minute now

What are you doing for the King?
Have you really given everything
For the one who gave His all for you?
Don't you be satisfied just to know
That the Lord has saved your soul
Have you forgotten what you need to do?

Take up your cross
And follow Jesus
Take up your cross
Every day
Don't be ashamed
To say that you know Him
Count the cost
Then take up your cross
And follow Him
Take up your cross
(Just take up your cross)
And follow Jesus
(And follow Jesus)
Take up your cross
(Oh, take up your cross)
Every day
(Every day)
Don't be ashamed
To say that you know Him
Count the cost
Then take up your cross
And follow Him
Count the cost
Then take up your cross
And follow Him

I said I know sometimes
That the road is long
And I know sometimes
It feels like you can't go on
But you can make it

You just take up your cross
And follow Jesus
(He's gonna be there)
Take up your cross
(Oh, yes, He is)
Every day
(Every day)
Don't be ashamed
To say that you know Him
Count the cost
Then take up your cross
And follow Him
Take up your cross
(I have decided)
And follow Jesus
(Oh, no turning back)
Take up your cross
(Ooh...)
Every day
(Every day)
Don't be ashamed
To say that you know Him
Count the cost
Then take up your cross
And follow Him...
