5 6 6 6 6 -6 6 5 I trav-eled down a lone-ly road, 5 -4 4 4 -4 4 And no one seemed to care, 5 6 6 6 6 -6 6 5 The bur-den on my wea-ry back 5 5 -4 -4 5 -4 Had bowed me to de-spair; 6 6 6 6 6 -6 6 I oft com-plained to Je-sus 5 -4 4 4 -4 4 How folks were treating me. 4 4 4 4 -4 And then I heard Him 5 4 -4 4 4 say so ten-der-ly: 7 7 7 7 -6 7 7 "My feet were al-so wea-ry -6 6 6 6 -6 6 Up-on the Cal-v'ry road, 7 7 7 7 -6 7 7 The cross be-came so heav-y, 7 -8 -7 -7 -6 6 I fell be-neath the load, 6 6 6 6 6 -6 6 Be faith-ful, wea-ry pil-grim, 5 -4 4 4 -4 4 The morn-ing I can see 4 4 4 4 Just lift your cross -4 5 4 -4 4 4 and fol-low close to Me." verse 2 "I work so hard for Jesus," I often boast and say "I've sacrificed a lot of things to walk the narrow way; I gave up fame and fortune I'm worth a lot to Thee!" And then I hear Him gently say to me: "I left the throne of glory And counted it but loss, My hands were nailed in anger Upon a cruel cross; But now we'll make the journey With your hand safe in Mine, So lift your cross and follow close to me." verse 3 O Hesus, if I die upon A foreign field some day, 'Twould be no more than love demands No less could I repay; "No greater love hath mortal man Than for a friend to die" These are the words He gently spoke to me; "If just a cup of water I place within your hand, Then just a cup of water is all that I demand." But if by death to living They can Thy glory see, I'll take my cross and follow close to Thee.
