to GOD be the GLORY
~ My Cross To Bear ~
By Deborah Ann

I have decided,
to take up my cross
to wear it, to bear it
no matter the loss.
I am persuaded,
it’s the right thing to do
to lift it, to carry it
all my days through.
I am compelled,
to take up my cross
to endure it, to suffer it
no matter the loss.
I am convinced,
it is my obligation
to accept it, to tolerate it
without hesitation.
I am determined,
to take up my cross
to bear it, carry it, endure it . . .
no matter what the loss!
~~~~~~~~
“Then said Jesus unto his disciples,
If any man will come after me,
let him deny himself,
and take up his cross,
and follow me.â€
