This Road And This Cross

Can I not pick up this old rugged cross?
Is there any other alternative way for me to take?
Is there any other short cut?
Must I really take this road and carry this cross?

Can I bear this pain? Can I even bear its weight?
Can I even bear its cost; the lost and the suffering it involves?

Lord, Can I not take this long and deserted road?
Is too far. Too tough and too lonely. It is even painful.
What if I fail? What if I fall?

What if I'm lost on this journey?
Who will pick me up?
Who will heal my pains and wounds?
Who can I run to? Who will walk with me in this journey?

Am I able to walk through this bumpy and dusty road?
Will I be strong enough to carry this old rugged cross?
Is this the only way for me to embrace You and to seek Your heart?

Daddy, Who can I cry out to in times of pain and loneliness?
Is there a place for me to hide? Can I escape from this cross?

But Daddy if I were to escape this road and this cross of mine,
Will I still be able to feel Your heart beat and hear Your cry?
And to wipe the tears from Your eyes?
Will I be able to share Your Joy and Your pain or even understand the meanings of it.
If I were to escape this road and this cross of mine,
Will I still be transform into the image of my Lord Jesus?
Will I still have the courage to stand before You?
And to look into Your eyes
And to say "Thank You Daddy for all that You have done for me"? from my Heart


You pick me up from the filthy pit of darkness with Your bleeding hands.
You rescue me from those who pursue me.
You carry me in Your arms when I couldn't even stand.
You wipe away every tear in my eyes.
You heal every pain in my heart. You set me free to Live.
And take away every shame in me and clothes me in Your Robe of Righteousness.

I know You, Daddy
If I were ever to count the cost of the Cross, it will always be a Plus.
Because You have paid it all for me.
You carry my cross of death and You've given me Your Cross of life.
All I have to do NOW is only to pick up this Cross of mine.

I realize now, this Cross is not my curse but my blessings
Is not my burdens but my Strength.
Yes, Daddy I will pick up this Cross. I will walk this road.
Because I know...
You will carry this Cross with me till my End.
