[Verse 1] You call me from the life I knew, To walk the narrow road with You. Not seeking praise, not chasing fame, But bearing witness to Your name. When earthly loves compete with grace, You teach my heart to seek Your face. My will laid down, my pride undone, I follow Christ, God’s risen Son. [Pre-Chorus] Though I may lose what I hold dear, Your voice is calling, “Do not fear.” [Chorus] The cross is the way, The truth that sets me free. I lay my life down, Lord, And follow faithfully. Through sorrow and surrender, Your glory leads me on. The cross is not the ending; In Christ, the dawn will come. [Verse 2] When those I love don’t understand, I trust my life into Your hands. Though voices rise and comforts cease, Your grace will keep me in Your peace. The grain must fall into the ground Before new life can rise abound. What pride once held, I now release; In losing self, I find Your peace. [Pre-Chorus] Though I may lose what I hold dear, Your voice is calling, “Do not fear.” [Chorus] The cross is the way, The truth that sets me free. I lay my life down, Lord, And follow faithfully. Through sorrow and surrender, Your glory leads me on. The cross is not the ending; In Christ, the dawn will come. [Bridge] Not pain forever, not the grave, But risen life and Christ who saves. The thorns will yield to crowns of light; The dark will bow before Your might. O risen Lord, my hope, my song, In You, my heart will journey on. What I surrender at Your feet Will find its life in victory. [Final Chorus] The cross is the way, Your love has conquered me. I give my life, Lord Jesus, To serve You faithfully. Through sorrow into glory, Your promise leads me on. The cross is not the ending; In Christ, the dawn has come. [Outro] I take my cross and follow You; Your grace will carry me through. The road may wound, but hope remains— For risen Christ forever reigns.
