How I long to see the picture finished Painted as a perfect portrait Void of all the mysteries of my life The cares of life bend every corner Taking me in wrong directions Can I walk despite the pain and strife But what is life without all the yearnings of the heart And who am I to doubt all You have in store for me So I will take up my cross and I will follow, I will follow Day by day, choice by choice, I will follow, I will follow I will enter by the narrow way For Your cross is the better place I will follow, I will follow Come and take me by the narrow gate For Your cross is the safest place I will follow, I will follow Your cross, it is the sweetest place Your cross, it is the sweetest place
