Let me look to the cross

 

O Lord, the way ahead seems so hard to walk,

The way is narrow, and I fear to tread.

 

But I thank You Lord, that You have already

Walked the hardest path of all for me – The path to Calvary…

 

So now, when I feel weary and disheartened,

I think of the cross You bore, and I am strengthened.

 

When I feel alone and rejected, I think

Of those who left Your side, and I know You’ve been there before me.

 

When I want to stray, I remember the stripes

You bore, Your nail-pierced hands, and I feel my shame.

 

When I no longer give my best to You,

I think of the blood You shed for me, and I am compelled to carry on.

 

O Lord, when the way ahead seems so hard to walk,

Let me always look towards the cross.
