Don't Take My Cross Away

My burdens keep my humble and
Teach me to pray
If I murmur or grumble forgive
The words I say
Give me strength to carry my load day by day
But don't take my burdens or my cross away

With a cross on my shoulders
My feet cannot stray
For the cross leads me onward
To my home far away
And I will not question this price I must pay
Just don't take my burdens or my cross away

For I would grow careless and idle I fear
My eyes would be dry and
I'd never shed a tear
Lest I forget oh that I need you each day
Don't take my burdens or my cross away
