Jeff & Sheri Easter - The Unexpected Cross lyrics

The Unexpected Cross Travelling through Jerusalem, Simon of Cyrene Came upon the Crucifixion of the innocent Nazarene The Soldiers shouted orders, gave Simon's heart a chill Then he took the cross for Jesus, carried it up the hill [Chorus:] The unexpected Cross, is always hard to bear But there's glory in the suffering, Triumph in despair For Christ is our example, and the crown is worth the cost Lord, help me to bear faithfully, the unexpected cross Along the road to heaven, crosses lie unsaved A crisis for the moment, to keep the spirit keen As Jesus gives the orders help to sacrifice the will Take up the cross and follow, the victory on the hill [Repeat Chorus:] Lord, help me to bear faithfully, the unexpected cross
