THE WAY OF THE CROSS
1. The way of the
Cross means sacrifice,
As to God you yield
your all.
to be laid on the
altar, the place of death
Where fire will
surely fall.
Refrain
'Tis the way of the
Cross,
Are you willing for
this?
What does bearing
the Cross mean to you?
You who've given
yourself, your all to God!
To God are you
wholly true?
2. As the voice of
song and prayer we raise
How easy to say
"we give all;"
Till some rougher
cross lies just before
And sterner is
duty's call.
3. Do you falter
then or true to death
Just die on the
cross in the way,
Till the fullness
of life from the Loving One
Is filling you day
by day?
4. 'Tis the plan of
life, for you die to live,
One with Jesus
crucified;
With the life alone
to be lived thro' you,
Of the risen, the
glorified.
5. Look not at your
gains or at your loss
But take heed to
the will of God.
Let us look upon
all things as worthless dross,
The steps of the
Lord to follow.
