- He carried
the cross to Calvary,
- Carried his
burden for you and me,
There on
the cross he was crucified
And,
because He suffered and bled and died,
We know
whatever 'OUR CROSS' may be,
It leads to
God and ETERNITY ..
For who can
hope for 'crown of stars'
Unless it
is earned by suffering and scars,
for how can
we face the living Lord
And
rightfully claim His promised reward
If we have
not carried his cross with care
And tasted
the cup of bitter despair...
Let those
who earn for the pleasures of life,
And long to
escape all suffering and strife,
Rush
recklessly on to an 'empty goal'
with never
a thought of the spirit and soul...
but if you
are searching to find the way
to life
everlasting and eternal day-
With Faith
in your heart take the path he trod,
For the WAY OF THE CROSS is
the WAY TO GOD.
