Take Up Your Cross

I’m down in this dungeon of sin and shame. Shouting,
I am the one!
I am the one!

The Spirit is near, His presence I feel, he whispers softly,
Be still my son.
Be still my son.

My soul with its sin has lingered in shame, I say
O, how long?
O, how long?

My heart is hard, I search for His face.
Don’t make me wait!
Don’t make me wait!

His look pierces my soul with His glory so bright, Beaming,
I took your place!
I took your place!

It’s late at night here on my bed. With tears in my eyes I cry,
Have mercy on me!
Have mercy on me!

His Spirit is sweet, He’s speaking to me..
Jesus you need!
Jesus you need!

O, wonderful love! O, priceless blood! I say to myself,
Just cling to the cross!
Just cling to the cross!

My Savior draws near. His two natures are there .With His word in
my heart. He whispers to me.
You’ll suffer loss.
You’ll suffer loss.

So take up your cross.
Just take up your cross.
