George Jones - If You Want To Wear A Crown lyrics

You've got to run to win the race Go along the way and quick the pace So remember when you're worried faith is fallin' down That you got to bear a cross if you want to wear a crown Our Lord is testing us each day He'll try us out in every way So don't despair when burdens fall around You got to bear a cross if you want to wear a crown We've seen some men rise to the top Then fall apart if they should drop They can't live on without their wealth They blame the Lord above and they never blame themselves Out of these fallen some will rise Accept their fate and realize That their own trial to God they'll hear the trumpet sound That you got to bear the cross if you want to wear a crown...
