Lift up the cross carry the light of the gospel
Always proclaim GOD's Holy unchangeable WORD
Weep for the lost pray they will heed to the SPIRIT's call
Preach to all men until every ear had heard
Lift up the cross share the good news of salvation
Multitudes long to know there is hope for their souls
Give of your best fervently seeking the kingdom
Over all else know CHRIST and make HIM known
Lift up the cross high above the clouds of deception
Doubt and confusion
Tell the world GOD so loved HE gave us HIS Son, HE gave us HIS Son
Lift up the cross high above the clouds of deception
Doubt and confusion
Tell the world GOD so loved HE gave us HIS Son, HE gave us HIS Son.
Lift up the cross scorners and skeptics are watching
Don't be afraid there's power in JESUS' name
Stand for the faith having no need for apology
Speak forth the truth boldly and unashamed
Lift up the cross there is no greater honor
Than to obey the call no matter the cost
Lay down your life fully devoted to serve the LORD
Live all the rest of your days to lift up the cross
