Take up my cross, it is the Way, 

Keep my Word, it is the Truth, 

At my Table you'll find Life! 

For the cross of sheer folly to Gentile and Jew, 

But to us who are saved 'tis the power of God, 

So we know and proclaim only Jesus, as Lord. 

Jesus Christ who was nailed to the Tree. 

For the word of the Lord is a double-edged sword, 

So alive and so active, it pierces the heart, 

Not a creature can hide from the truth it declares, 

It exposes, lays bare all our thoughts! 

Lord, to whom shall we go? You're the Bread of Life: 

Living Bread that descends like the heavenly dew, 

Not the manna you gave to our fathers of old, 

But your flesh for the life of the world!
