OH, NO CROSS THAT I MAY CARRY, by ALICE MORTENSON
First Line: When I think of things denied me
Last Line: Just because he loved me so.
Subject(s): Jesus Christ
First Line: When I think of things denied me
Last Line: Just because he loved me so.
Subject(s): Jesus Christ
When I think of things denied me,
Leaving sorrow in their stead,
It is then I think how Jesus
Had no place to lay His head.
When the clouds above me gather,
Dark the path that I must go,
It is then I see my Saviour
In the garden, bending low.
Should all earthly friends forsake me,
Every grief of mine is small,
When I see my Saviour standing
Mute, condemned, in Pilate's hall.
Oh, no cross that I may carry
Can be heavy when I know
Thay my Saviour bore His gladly
Just because He loved me so.
