   C                            F                C
I traveled on a lonely road and no one seemed to care.
                                D                 G
The burden on my weary back had bowed me to despair;
   C                           F                  C
I oft complained to Jesus how folks were treating me,
     F                C     G      C  F C
And then I heard Him say so tenderly,

    F                        C
"My feet were also weary, upon the Calvary road;
     F                        D                 G
The cross became so heavy, I fell beneath the load,
      C                         F            C
Be faithful weary pilgrim the morning I can see,
       F                    C     G       C   F   C  G
Just lift your cross and follow close to me."

    C                         F                C
"I work so hard for Jesus" I often boast and say
                                     D               G 
"I've sacrificed a lot of things to walk the narrow way,
   C                              F              C   
I gave up fame and fortune, I'm worth a lot to Thee"
      F               C     G         C  F  C
And then I hear Him gently say to me,

    F                             C                        
"I left the throne of glory and counted it but loss,
     F                         D              G
My hands were nailed in anger upon a cruel cross,
     C                               F                  C 
But now we'll make the journey with your hand safe in mine,
     F                    C     G      C    F  C  G
So lift your cross and follow close to me.

[Instrumental]

    C                     F                 C
Oh Jesus if I die upon a foreign field someday,
                                           D            G 
'Twould be no more than love demands, no less could I repay,
        C                             F                C  
"No greater love hath mortal man than for a friend to die"
       F                  C     G          C  F  C
These are the words He gently spoke to me,

      F                      C             
"If just a cup of water I place within your hand
       F                     D            G 
Then just a cup of water is all that I demand.
     C                          F             C
But if by death to living they can Thy glory see,
       F                 C      G        C 
I'll take my cross and follow close to Thee.
