On the road again carrying high the cross
On the road again, with trials to bear
On the road again, your burden so heavy
Every day you swim upstream
When all seems lost
Lift high the cross
At any cost
Lift high the cross
Just as surely as the sun sets
So far as east is from west
Our sins are lifted from our chest
When every molehill seems like a mountain
And every puddle an ocean to swim
With every rock there springs a fountain
And every trouble a battle to win
Don't be discouraged, when your in chains
The spirit is there to soothe your pains
God is holding every key
listening to those on bended knee
When all seems lost
Lift high the cross
At any cost
lift high the cross
Just as surely as the sun sets
So far as east is from west
Our sins are lifted from our chest
