Oh, they led You from the temple
Through the streets
To the hill called Calvary
And with a heavy cross upon Your back
You fell in agony
But You struggled up and climbed that hill
Out of love for me
I guess love sometimes is an uphill climb

So with my cross, Lord
I'll climb the rugged mountain top
And I won't stop, 'cause I know
Love sometimes is an uphill climb
Jesus, when You walked that hill to Calvary
You proved to me
Love sometimes is an uphill climb

So I will follow You
Each step along the day
Yeah, through the struggle, Lord
If that's what it takes
Because I know that love's not easy
Sometimes it costs
Lord, help me remember
Every time I see the cross
That love sometimes is an uphill climb
So with my cross, Lord
I'll climb the rugged mountain top
And I won't stop, 'cause I know
Love sometimes is an uphill climb, yeah
Jesus, when You walked that hill to Calvary
You proved to me
Love sometimes is an uphill climb
Yeah, yeah

Lord, You said, "If you want to be
A follower of Mine
Take up your cross and yourself deny"
Oh, Lord, with Your strength
I know I'll make it one step at a time
Yeah, even when this road I'm on
Feels like an uphill climb, yeah

So with my cross, Lord
I'll climb the rugged mountain top
And I won't stop, 'cause I know
Love sometimes is an uphill climb
Jesus, when You walked that hill to Calvary
You proved to me
Love sometimes, love sometimes
Love sometimes is an uphill climb, yeah
