[Verse 1]
If you want to follow Me, hear My call,
Deny yourself, give Me all!
Take up your cross, each day anew,
Walk in My steps, I’ll guide you through!

The world will shout, the path is steep,
But My promises are yours to keep.
Lose your life, and you will find,
Eternal joy for all mankind!

[Pre-Chorus]
When the road is hard and shadows fall,
I will lift you, I will call!
Through every trial, every test,
I am your strength, your eternal rest!

[Chorus]
Take up your cross, follow Me,
Through the storms, the wind, the sea!
Deny yourself, embrace the fight,
Walk in My truth, shine My light!
For whoever loses life for My name,
Will find eternal glory, unshakable fame!
Take up your cross, let faith arise,
And see My Kingdom before your eyes!

[Verse 2]
What does it profit to gain the world,
If your soul is lost, your flag unfurled?
Lay down your pride, lay down your fear,
And know that I am always near!

The Son of Man will come in power,
To judge the earth in the final hour.
But those who stand, who trust, who obey,
Will shine with Me on that glorious day!

[Pre-Chorus]
When the road is hard and shadows fall,
I will lift you, I will call!
Through every trial, every test,
I am your strength, your eternal rest!

[Chorus]
Take up your cross, follow Me,
Through the storms, the wind, the sea!
Deny yourself, embrace the fight,
Walk in My truth, shine My light!
For whoever loses life for My name,
Will find eternal glory, unshakable fame!
Take up your cross, let faith arise,
And see My Kingdom before your eyes!

[Bridge]
Don’t cling to silver, don’t cling to gold,
The greatest treasure cannot be sold!
The world will fade, but My love remains,
Through joy, through sorrow, through all your pains!

On the mountaintop, My glory shown,
Peter, James, and John have known.
The vision of Heaven, the voice so clear,
“This is My Son, whom you should hear!”

[Breakdown]
Leader: Who will follow Him today?
Choir: We will follow, come what may!
Leader: Who will take the cross and fight?
Choir: We will stand in His light!
Leader: Who will deny the world, embrace the King?
All: We will rise and praises bring!

[Final Chorus]
Take up your cross, follow Me,
Through the storms, the wind, the sea!
Deny yourself, embrace the fight,
Walk in My truth, shine My light!
For whoever loses life for My name,
Will find eternal glory, unshakable fame!
Take up your cross, let faith arise,
And see My Kingdom before your eyes!

[Outro]
The Son of Man comes, the world will see,
Those who follow Me will reign with Me!
Take up your cross, and never fear,
For My victory is always near!
