take up your cross

I close my eyes and you take me there
A place where no one can hide
I stand alone with eyes on me
Feeling I'm on the wrong side

From a distance, I see the cross
Where you laid down your life for me
Hanging there, nailed, you're crying out
Forgive them...they don't know why I bleed

And you say,
take up your cross and follow me
walking in the light of my feet
take up your cross and follow me
surrender all you've got for eternity
surrender all you've got for eternity

As I see the nails through your skin,
hands cover my eyes
All around I hear the silence broken by this cry
King of Kings and Lord of Lords is here
King of Kings and Lord of Lords is here

I confess my sin to you Lord, I have no where to go
Your blood falls upon my shame, Lord, washes white as snow

take up your cross and follow me
walking in the light of my feet
take up your cross and follow me
surrender all you've got for eternity
surrender all you've got for eternity

King of Kings, Lord of Lords...the King of Kings is here
take up your cross and follow me, follow me, follow me
take up your cross and follow me, follow me, follow me
follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me

take up your cross and follow me
surrender all you've got for eternity...the King of Kings is here
take up your cross and follow me
surrender all you've got for eternity
