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.
