Tell me good brother, are you feeling kind of low?
Your back's a-breaking and your legs are 'bout to go, I know
Tell me good sister, can you take another step?
You wanna lay it down but it just ain't over yet, not until the Good Lord says so
Don't let your heart be troubled, you know this road is glory – bound
So let's jump up turn around raise our hands and praise the Lord, you gotta take up your cross and follow Jesus, Calvary is the road that freed us, He died and rose again to make the way, take up your cross and follow Jesus, He guides our steps and He'll never leave us. When we're done, we'll see him face to face
Tell me good people are your skies a-getting gray?
Rain's a-falling, can't face another day
Everybody needs a little place where they can hide, take it to the Lord and He'll dry those tears you cry
In the sweet by and by, and when those clouds are threatening, He's a shelter from the storm
So let's jump up turn around raise our hands and praise the Lord, you gotta take up your cross and follow Jesus, Calvary is the road that freed us, He died and rose again to make the way, take up your cross and follow Jesus, He guides our steps and He'll never leave us. When we're done, we'll see him face to face
Like Moses told ol' Pharaoh: "you gotta let my people go", you know Jesus came to set the captive free
So let's jump up turn around raise our hands and praise the Lord, take up your cross and follow Jesus, Calvary is the road that freed us, He died and rose again to make the way, take up your cross and follow Jesus, He guides our steps and He'll never leave us. When we're done, we'll see him face to face
