[Verse 1]
 I Gtraveled down a G7lonely road and Cno one seemed to Gcare; 
The Emburden on my A7weary back had D7bowed me to despair, 
I Goft complained to JG7esus How Cfolk were treating Gme, 
And Emthen I heard Him Gsay so D7tenderlGy,
"My Cfeet were also weary, UpGon the Calv'ry road; 
The Ccross became so A7heavy, I D7fell beneath the load, 
Be Gfaithful weary G7pilgrim, The Cmorning I can Gsee, 
Just Emlift your cross and Gfollow D7close to Gme."
[Verse 2]
 "I Gwork so hard for G7Je-sus" I Coften boast and Gsay, 
"I've Emsacrificed a A7lot of things To D7walk the narrow way, 
I gaGve up fame and G7fortune, I'm Cworth a lot to GThee," 
And Emthen I hear Him gGently D7say to Gme.
"I Cleft the throne of glory and Gcounted it but loss, 
My Chands were nailed in aA7nger upD7on a cruel cross, 
But nGow we'll make the jG7ourney with Cyour hand safe in Gmine, 
So Emlift your cross and fGollow clD7ose to Gme.
[Verse 3]
Oh, JGesus if I dG7ie upon a Cforeign field somedGay, 
'TwoEmuld be no more than A7love demands No D7less could I repay, 
"No gGreater love hath G7mortal man than Cfor a friend to dGie" 
These Emare the words He gGently D7spoke to Gme:
"If Cjust a cup of water I Gplace within your hand 
Then jCust a cup of A7water is D7all that I demand," 
GBut if by death to G7living They Ccan thy glory sGee, 
I'll Emtake my cross and Gfollow D7close to tGhee.
