Текст пісні
I've traveled down a lonely road and no one seemed to care
The burden on my weary back had bowed me to despair
And I've oft complained to Jesus how folks were treating me
Then I heard Him say so tenderly
My feet were oh so weary upon the Calvary road
The cross became so heavy I fell beneath the load
Oh just be faithful weary pilgrim the morning I can see
Just lift your cross and follow close to me
Oh Jesus if I die upon a foreign field someday
T'would be no more than love demands no less could I repay
No greater love has mortal man than for a friend to die
These are those words I gently heard Him speak to me
Oh if just a cup of water I placed within Your hand
Then just a cup of water is all that I demand
So if by faith true living they can Thy glory see
I'll take my cross and follow close to Thee
