What is My Cross

Each of us blessed
with gifts in this life
talents and things
which give us joy

Hearing the Savior
the admonishments of Christ
to pick up our cross
the way to new life

But we ask ourselves often
what is my cross
what is the way
that I can serve God

What is my calling
my special gift to God
what must I do
show me oh Lord
