press on, press in

I will enter by the narrow way
for Your cross is a better place
and I will follow,
I will follow.

So come and take me by the narrow gate--
Your cross is the safest place
and I will follow,
I will follow.

(How I long to see the picture finished,
painted as a perfect portrait
void of all the mysteries of my life.
The cares of life bend every corner
taking me in wrong directions
can I walk despite the pain and strife?

But what is life without all the yearnings of the heart?
And who am I to doubt all You have in store for me?

So I will take up my cross
and I will follow,
I will follow.
Day by day,
and choice by choice,
I will follow,
I will follow.)

-Cross, Audra Lynn
