"This Cross"

#1 This cross Lord, is so heavy
My trials are hard to bear
Sometimes I wonder
If you really care

  

#2 This cross is very big and long
 So heavy when I'm dragging
Could you make it lighter
Sorry if I'm nagging

 #3 This cross would be easier
Please saw some off a little
It will be much lighter
I'll even help you whittle

 #4 This cross Is still very heavy
How did you ever carry it
Oh! Lord you suffered so
 You never said "I quit"

 #5 This cross is heavy leaden
I need you to cut some more
Sometimes the trials you give
Are really such a chore

#6 This cross is much shorter now
I can handle it just fine
I'm not sure where I'm going
But now I'll be on time
 
#7 This cross Lord thank you
For doing just what I asked
Now I'm passing the others 
I'm going Oh! So fast
 
 #8 Lord! I see a deep cavern
  The length across I can't jump
Now I get the message
I've been such a chump
 
#9 This cross is now a bridge
It has saved all others day
With faith in your word
Trusting in your way

 #10 This cross of mine is to short
Can't reach across the ravine
Now I know the trials You give
Your reasons are unseen

  #11 At This cross forgive me Lord
I'll never change your ways
You know what is best
Every hour of my days
