TAKE UP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW ME

Everyone of us has a cross to bear in life. The heaviest cross anyone has ever had to bear was Our Blessed Lord. His mission on earth was the salvation of mankind. The purpose of his life was death on a cross as this was His Father's way by which mankind was to be saved. Nobody else has ever had so much suffering to endure when others tried to crush His spirit.
There are many things in life people don't like and causes them much suffering. Jesus realized this and He just asks us to bear our crosses willing and trust in Him. Mankind is made in the image of God and this is the only way one can attain happiness. It is pointless to think that bringing in things such as same sex marriage will make things any better. Problems that gay people may have with their sexuality is just another cross they have to accept. If one wishes to live a happy life you do not have any other choice but to accept your cross and trust in Jesus.

 

TAKE UP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW ME

So you want to find contentment in life

And you want to minimize all suffering and strife

There is no other way it can be done

Than to take up your cross and follow God's Son.

 

Many, many others have had their say

But I can tell you there is no other way

All other things that people do

Will fade away because they're not true.

 

As in Russia where the Russian sword did bend

There was no truth, let's not pretend

And all of communism will never last

It's almost gone a thing of the past.

 

So take up your cross and follow God's church

Then you will never be left in the lurch

Take the steep and narrow road

Accept your cross accept your load.
