Willing to Take the Cross -2fav59.mid - [Play Midi]

1. From His celestial abode Jesus came
   Willing to die for man
   Taking the cross with its suff'ring and shame
   He laid redemption's plan

2. O the deep shame Jesus suffered that day
   Bearing the sinful stain
   Willing to suffer our ransom to pay
   Willing to bear the pain

3. How could the Savior so spotless and pure
   Leave that bright home on high
   Willing the way of the cross to endure
   Willing to bleed and die?

4. Come to the Savior with all of your guilt
   Come with your load of sin
   It was for you that His life's blood was spilt
   Jesus will take you in

Chorus:

Willing to take the cross was He, Willing to suffer misery
Willing to go to Calvary, Laying His glory aside
Willing to hang there on the tree, Willing to bear the agony
Willing to die for you and me; Jesus the Crucified.
