THE CROSS ON THE MOUNTAIN

IF YOU THINK, MY DEAR CHILDREN, THAT YOU ARE NOW WEARY,

WAIT TILL THE CROSSES UP THE MOUNTAIN YOU CARRY.

THE WALK WILL BE HARDER ON THE HIGHER TERRAIN;

YET THIS JOURNEY WILL HELP YOU SALVATION TO GAIN.

WHEN YOU FEEL THAT YOU CANNOT YOUR BURDENS WITHSTAND,

LOOK UP AND REACH OUT FOR THERE WILL BE MY HAND.

YOU WILL SHARE THE SAME JOURNEY THAT I WAS ASKED TO MAKE;

THE STRUGGLE WILL BE WORTH IT BASED ON WHAT IS NOW AT STAKE.

YOU WILL SEE MANY CROSSES THAT HAVE BEEN LEFT BEHIND;

 ABANDON NOT YOURS FOR GOD'S LIGHT YOU'LL NOT FIND.

CARRY YOUR CROSSES AND SET THEM BESIDE

THE CROSS ON THE MOUNTAIN WHERE MY SON WAS CRUCIFIED.

THE MOUNTAIN, DEAR CHILDREN, IS NOW WITHIN SIGHT,

AND ON THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN YOU'LL SOON SEE THE LIGHT.

SOON BY GOD'S LIGHT YOU WILL BE IMMERSED,

AND THEN YOU'LL NOT HUNGER NOR AGAIN WILL YOU THIRST.
