Take Up Your Cross
Matthew 16:24, Mark 8:34-38, Luke 9:23-26, Luke 14:26-27

If any man will come after me,
Let him deny himself and take up his cross,
And take up his cross daily and follow me.
Or he can never be a disciple of mine.
Or he can never be a disciple of mine.

For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and my words,
Whosoever shall be ashamed of me and my words,
Of him shall the Son of Man be ashamed.
Of him shall the Son of Man be ashamed.
For he can never be a disciple of mine.
For he can never be a disciple of mine.

You must take up your cross daily and follow me.
And deny yourself or you can never be,
A disciple of mine, a disciple of mine.

If any man come to me and hate not his own life,
Children, brothers and sisters, father, mother and wife.
He cannot be a disciple of mine.
He cannot be a disciple of mine.

But I tell you a truth, there be some standing here,
That shall not taste of death till they see the Kingdom of God.
That shall not taste of death till they see the Kingdom of God.

You must take up your cross daily and follow me,
And deny yourself or you can never be,
And deny yourself or you can never be,
A disciple of mine, a disciple of mine,
You must take up your cross to be a disciple of mine.
