She's daddy's little girl
Only three years old
All dressed up in her Sunday clothes
He held her hand on bended knee
He says "I need to show you how
To find your way home"
As they walked along, how sweet the sound
Church bells ringing, people gathered 'round
"Remember this church, and the cross way up there
Sweetheart, if you ever get lost, say...."
Take me to the cross
High upon a steeple
The one where Jesus died
For all the lost people
If you can't find home
Know you're not alone
Take me to the cross
As the years went by
Daddy's little girl
Lost herself out in a big, big world
And on the day her daddy died
She said "I need to know why"
Take me to the cross
High upon a steeple
The one where Jesus died
For hurting people
If you can't find home
Know you're not alone
Take me to the cross
Now that same little girl
Thirty years gone by
She still knows her daddy's by her side
She raises her little boy in her father's way
And she smiles when she hears her son say
"Hey Mama..."
Take me to the cross
High upon a steeple
The one where Jesus died
For all the lost people
If you can't find home
Know you're not alone no more
Remember the cross
High upon a steeple
The one where Jesus died
For all the lost people
If you can't find home
Know you're not alone
Take me to the cross
Mama, take me to the cross
Take me to the cross
