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.
