Verse 1
Then Jesus said unto His disciples,
If any man will come unto me,
Let him deny himself and take up his
Cross and follow me.

Chorus
Take up your cross and follow me,
Take up your cross and follow me,
Leave self behind and let me take over;
Take up your cross and follow me.

Verse 2
For whosoever will save his life,
Shall lose it and it shall be gone;
And whosoever will lose his life,
For my sake shall find it.

Chorus
Take up your cross and follow me,
Take up your cross and follow me,
Leave self behind and let me take over;
Take up your cross and follow me.

Verse 3
The church is a place where grace abounds free,
In it you will find a new life,
Banding together to worship your Lord,
Your love will be for me.

Chorus
Take up your cross and follow me,
Take up your cross and follow me,
Leave self behind and let me take over;
Take up your cross and follow me.

Verse 4
You must throw out the pieces of self,
And replace them with His holy love;
The load of this cross to heaven to carry,
He'll take your load from you.

Chorus
Take up your cross and follow me,
Take up your cross and follow me,
Leave self behind and let me take over;
Take up your cross and follow me.
