Lift up the cross
Carry the light of the gospel
clways proclaim
God's holy, unchangeable word
Weep for the lost
Pray they will heed to the Spirit's call
Preach to all men
Until every ear has heard

Lift up the cross
Share the good news of salvation
Multitudes long
To know there is hope for their souls
Give of your best
Fervently seeking the Kingdom
Over all else
Know Christ, and make Him known

Lift up the cross
High above the clouds of deception
Doubt and confusion
Tell the world
God so loved He gave us His Son
He gave us His Son

Lift up the cross.
Scorners and skeptics are watching
Don't be afraid
There's power in Jesus' name
Stand for the faith
Having no need for apology
Speak forth the truth
Boldly and unashamed

Lift up the cross
High above the clouds of deception
Doubt and confusion
Tell the world
God so loved He gave us His Son
He gave us His Son
He gave us His Son

Lift up the cross
There is no greater honor
Than to obey the call
No matter the cost
Lay down your life
Fully devoted to serve the Lord
Live all the rest of your days
To lift up the cross

Lift up the cross
Lift up the cross
Lift up the cross!
