“Take Up Our Cross” by Curtis Stephan and Sarah Hart.
In planning music for some events and Mass I came across this song. I love it. Thought it would be a good reflection. Read and enjoy.

Lyrics:
1. Behold the wood that bears our name;
behold the nails that hold our sin.
The tree from which salvation blooms;
the death by which we’re born again.
Refrain
We take up our cross and follow him;
we lay down our lives that we might live.
We carry the hope of Christ within;
we take up our cross and follow him.
2. We embrace the sacrifice,
and walk the path we cannot see.
The burdens of this world made light;
by blood and thorn we are redeemed. (to Refrain)
Bridge
Lift him high, lift him high;
let his name be glorified.
Lift him high, lift him high;
let his name be glorified.
