Take Up Our Cross

Capo 3

[Verse]
C          Em                  D
Behold the wood that bears our name;
C          Em                  G
behold the nails that hold our sin.
C             Em              D
The tree from which salvation blooms;
C            Em               G
the death by which we're born again.

[Refrain]
               C                G
We take up our cross and follow him;
                C          Em        G
we lay down our lives that we might live.
             C       Em      G
We carry the hope of Christ within;
               C         Em      G
we take up our cross and follow him.

C       Em           D
We embrace the sacrifice,
C            Em             G
and walk the path we cannot see.
C           Em                 D
The burdens of this world made light;
C            Em              D
by blood and thorn we are redeemed. (to Refrain)

[Bridge]
         Am             Em
Lift him high, lift him high;
        C             G
let his name be glorified.
         Am             Em
Lift him high, lift him high;
        C            G
let his name be glorified.
