“And as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus.” Luke 23:26 ESV



Just a sinner trying to find my way through streets of chaos
I never thought I would be drawn to His righteousness 
His face so marred He did not even appear to be human
How could I so unworthy ever hope to know the Son of Man


Compelled to walk the same painful blood-stained path Jesus trod 
Tears and jeers pave the road of doubting disciples and the angry mob
Oh blessed assurance that The Cross was the one only He could bear
All our sins lovingly and mercifully carried by our Savior most dear


How can I not be changed by His marvelous gift of grace
Granting me sufficient strength to finish life’s arduous race
No longer a complacent bystander along the path He trod
Unworthy still but daily I take up my cross for the Son of God


…and follow Him!


“And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” Luke 9:23 ESV
