[G] The streets were crowded [Cm] on that day in the city, [G] for it was now that [C] time of _
[G] [Am] year.
[G] When pilgrims traveled [C] long to [G] see Jerusalem, [Am] for now the [F] Passover [G] was here.
[D] _ _ [G] _ As I walked I [Cm] came upon Pilate's [G] mansion, an angry crowd outside [C] his gate.
[Bm] _ [Am] I [G] saw the man they [C] called Jesus, the [G] Son of [Am] God, [F] beneath the cross [G] fallen a _ _ [Am] faint.
[D] _
Take up [G] your [Em] cross, follow [C] in the footsteps [D] of your Lord, [G] and bear the loss, counting [C] it but gain.
[G] Surrender all, [Em] follow in [C] the path that he [D] has drawn.
[Em] There's a light [C] behind the darkness, [G] a crown [D] beyond the [Em] grave,
reward for [C] those who stop [D] to count the cost.
_ _ [C] _ _ Take [G] up your cross.
_ [C] _ [G] The _ _ _ crowd was louder [Cm] now I stopped, watched in [G] silence.
I looked with wonder [C] at his _ [G] _
[Am] face.
[G] And while the soldiers [C] yelled, within [G] my heart there [Am] swelled a deep [F] desire to know [G] his grace.
[D] _
_ [G] _ Then a soldier [Cm] saw my look, and firm commanded _ [G] that I must now his burden [C] _
bear.
[G] [Am] But as lifted [G] I the tree, [C] praise God [G] he lifted me, [Am] and in [F] his cross I [D] had a share.
_ [G] _ [C] _ _ Take up [G] your [Em] cross, follow in [C] the footsteps of [D] your Lord, and [G] bear the loss, counting it [C] but gain.
Surrender [G] all, follow [C] in the path [D] that he has drawn.
[Em] There's a light [C] behind the [G] darkness, a crown [D] beyond the [Em] grave,
reward for those [C] who stop [D] to count the cost.
_ [G] _ [C] _ [G] _
[C] [D] Take up [G] your cross.
_ [C] _ [D] _
_ _ _ [G] Oh, listen friend, upon [Cm] that day I oft remember,
[G] a soldier's guard with spears [C] and _ [Am] swords.
I [G] recognize the [C] gift, the [G] privilege to [Am] lift [C] the [F] cross for Jesus [D] Christ the Lord.
_ [G] _ And from that day it [Cm] has remained, my heart's desire [G] to follow him through [C] floods and _ [G] [Am] flames.
Will [D] you not do as [C] much?
Will you [G] ignore his [Am] touch?
Or will [F] your heart desire [D] the [G] same?
_ [C] _ _ Take [G] up your [Em] cross, follow [C] in the footsteps [D] of your Lord, [G] and bear the loss, counting [C] it but gain.
[G] Surrender [Em] all, follow [C] in the path that [D] he has drawn.
[Em] There's a light [C] behind the [G] darkness, a crown [D] beyond the grave,
[Em] reward for [C] those who stop to [D] count the cost.
