Take up your cross
And follow Jesus
Take up your cross everyday
Don't be afraid to say that you know me
Count the cost and take up your cross and follow me

I wanna talk to about something now
What are ya' doin'
For all the kids
Have ya really given
Everything for the one who gave his own for you
Don't you be sad
Just to know
That the Lord who saved your soul
Have you forgotten what you need

Take up your cross
And follow Jesus
Take up your cross everyday
Don't be ashamed to say that you know me
Count the cost and take up your cross and follow me
Take up your cross
And follow Jesus
Take up your cross everyday
Don't be ashamed to say that you know me
Count the cost then take up your cross and follow me
Count the cost then take up your cross and follow me

And I know sometimes that the road is long
And I know sometimes that it feels like you can't go on
But you can make it
You can...

Take up your cross
And follow Jesus
Take up your cross everyday
Don't be ashamed to say that you know me
Count the cost and take up your cross and follow me
Take up your cross
And follow Jesus
Take up your cross everyday
Don't be ashamed to say that you know me
Count the cost and take up your cross and follow me
Take up your cross
And follow Jesus
