C                    F       C 
You've got to run to win the race 
             F                 G7 
Go along the way and quick the pace 
            F                                    C 
So remember when you're worried faith is falling down 
                                    G7             C 
That you got to bear a cross if you want to wear a crown 

            F               C 
Our Lord is testing us each day 
             F            G7 
He'll try us out in every way 
         F                         C 
So don't despair when burdens fall around 
                               G7             C 
You got to bear a cross if you want to wear a crown 

                     F           C 
You've seen some men rise to the top 
          F                    G7 
Then fall apart if they should drop 
                F                C 
They can't live on without their wealth 
                                   G7              C 
They blame the Lord above and they never blame themselves 

             F                C 
Out of these fallen some will rise 
             F           G7 
Accept their fate and realize 
               F                                     C 
That their own trial to God they'll hear the trumpet sound 
                                      G7             C 
That you got to bear the cross if you want to wear a crown
