Hymns of Grace - Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken - Live lyrics

Artist: Hymns of Grace

album: Live at Shepherds' Conference, Vol. 1


Jesus, I my cross have taken
All to leave and follow Thee
It's we offer
Jesus, I my cross have taken
All to leave and follow Thee
Destitute, despised, forsaken
Thou from hence my all shall be
Perish every fond ambition
All I've sought or hoped or known
Yet how rich is my condition (this is why we're rich)
God and heav'n are still my own

Let the world despise and leave me (they will)
They have left my Savior, too
Human hearts and looks deceive me
Thou art not, like them, untrue
Oh, while Thou dost smile upon me
God of wisdom, love, and might
Foes may hate and friends disown me
Show Thy face and all is bright

Man may trouble and distress me
'Twill but drive me to Thy breast (we know a better place to be)
Life with trials hard may press me
Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest
Oh, 'tis not in grief to harm me
While Thy love is left to me (they can kill me but they can't hurt me)
Oh, 'twere not in joy to charm me
Were that joy unmixed with Thee

Go, then, earthly fame and treasure
Come disaster, scorn and pain
In Thy service, pain is pleasure
With Thy favor, loss is gain
I have called Thee, "Abba Father" (what a privilege)
I have stayed my heart on Thee
Storms may howl and clouds may gather
All must work for good to me

Soul, then know thy full salvation (preach to ourselves)
Rise o'er sin and fear and care (the ones you're facing right now)
Joy to find in every station
Something still to do or bear
Think what Spirit dwells within thee
Think what Father's smiles are thine
Think that Jesus died to win thee
Child of heav'n canst thou repine

Haste thee on from grace to glory
Armed by faith and winged by prayer
Heav'n's eternal days before thee
God's own hand shall guide thee there
Soon shall close thy earthly mission
Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days
Hope shall change to glad fruition
Faith to sight and prayer to praise
