The Cross Is a Radical Thing Songtext
von Steve Camp

I heard the call of the lord
He said "Come and follow me!
Once you put your hand to the plow
You′ve got to press on faithfully."

Like the rich young ruler
Who wanted heaven on his own terms
We try to find an easy way
But there's a cross to bear and
A lesson to learn.

Two roads diverged in my life
I took the one less traveled by
I had to leave my old ways of living
For the cross
The cross is a radical thing

Jesus paid for my salvation
On a hill called Calvary
He shed His blood for my sin
So that I could be free indeed


But though I′m free from sin
A slave to my Lord am I
'Cause when Jesus calls a man
He bids him to come and die

I've been crucified with Jesus
No longer I live He lives in me
I′ve left everything for my king
For the cross
The cross is a radical thing

Like the rich young ruler
Who wanted heaven on his own terms
We try to find an easy way
But there′s a cross to bear and
A lesson to learn.

Two roads diverged in my life
I took the one less traveled by
I had to leave my old ways of living
For the cross
The cross is a radical thing


I've been crucified with Jesus
No longer I live He lives in me
I′ve left everything for my king
For the cross
The cross is a radical thing

Two roads diverged in my life
I took the one less traveled by
I had to leave my old ways of living
For the cross
The cross is a radical thing

I've been crucified with Jesus
No longer I live He lives in me
I′ve left everything for my king
For the cross
The cross is a radical thing

Two roads diverged in my life
I took the one less traveled by...
