Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken (Live) ft. Parke Cottrell Lyrics

Jesus, I my cross have taken

All to leave and follow Thee

Destitute, despised, forsaken

Thou from hence my all shall be

Perish every vain ambition

All I've ever hoped or known

Yet how rich is my condition

God and heav'n are still my own

Let the world despise and leave me

They have left my Savior too

Human hearts and looks deceive me

Thou are not, like them, untrue

O while Thou dost smiled upon me

God of wisdom, love, and might

Foes may hate and friends may shun me

Show your face and all is bright

Go then, earthly fame and treasure

Come, disaster, scorn, and pain

In Thy service pain is pleasure

With Thy favor loss is gain

I have called you Abba, Father

I have stayed my heart on Thee

Storms may howl, and clouds may gather

All must work for good to me

Haste then on from grace to glory

Armed by faith and winged by prayer

Heav'n's eternal days before thee

God's own hand shall guide us there

Soon shall close the earthly mission

Swift shall pass the pilgrim days

Hope soon change to glad fruition

Faith to sight and prayer to praise
