stand close to the cross – v2


each moment, each second
each choice we make in life
we must choose the path
we must stand close to the cross
leading in the way of Jesus
walking in His footsteps
on the path that God has written

we must not waiver, falter,
our steps must not stray
we must stand close to the cross
walking boldly, certain
on the path that God has written
hearing the Spirit calling
to the way of the Christ

if we are to be Christ’s disciples
if we are to be His followers
we must stand close to the cross
emulating our servant master
we must be light bearers, witnesses
offering love, mercy, justice
walking on the path God has written
