I'll take the cross that once You bore
I need You now forevermore
Oh God this hurting heart cries out
For much too long I've done without
(Chorus)
I'll be the reason that You gave
I'll be the soul You long to save
Since Calvary was meant for me
I'll take the cross, Lord, gratefully
To think You knew me long ago
In spite of all You loved me so
I'm chosen by Your grace divine
I long to stay here by Your side
(Repeat chorus)
Since Calvary was meant for me
I'll take the cross, Lord, gratefully
