Would you dare to walk upon the water'
Would you dare to step into the fire'
Would you give away your wealth'
Would you risk your very health'
Would you sacrifice your heart's desire'

Children of faith say 'Yes,'
They give their very best.

So carry the cross,
Dare to follow in his footsteps,
Carry the cross,
Choose the path of most resistance,
Heaven's the home of the brave,
Through Christ they conquer the grave,
Bear the cross.

Will you make your bed among the lions'
Will you yield your heart and bear his cross'
Will you gladly sacrifice, just to gain eternal life'
Will you count it gain to suffer loss'

Children of faith know how,
They conquer in his power.

Carry the cross,
Dare to follow in his footsteps,
Carry the cross,
Choose the path of most resistance,
Heaven's the home of the brave,
Through Christ they conquer the grave,
Bear the cross.

Carry the cross,
Dare to follow in his footsteps,
Carry the cross,
And take the path of most resistance,
Carry the cross, carry the cross,
Carry the cross, carry the cross.

The cross.
