Take up your cross and follow Christ

Don t stop your thanksgiving when the road gets tough
He is with you when the light goes out, He is with you in affliction.

Sometimes it’s hard to surrender when God asks you for a favor,
But God will bless you more than you can ever imagine.

Take up your cross and follow Christ, surrender yourself completely.
His will is good for you; it leads you to eternal life.

On His throne high in heaven, God hears your cry.
He sees your faith and hope; He rejoices when you trust in Him.

Eyes that have wept see things more clearly.
A broken heart is a delight to the Lord.

We must love Christ more than the things of this earth.
And when you cry and struggle, He prepares treasures for you.

On the day after your brokenness, He will open His hand to you.
After the trial comes the blessing—have faith in affliction.
