The Cross Is a Radical Thing

I heard the call of the Lord
He said "Come and follow me!
Once you put your hand to the plow
You've got to press on faithfully"
Like the rich young ruler
(Oh-oh-oh)
Who wanted heaven on his own terms
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
We try to find an easy way
But there's a cross to bear
And a lesson to learn

Two roads diverged in my life
I took the one less traveled by
I had to leave my old ways of living
For the cross, the cross is a radical thing

Jesus paid for my salvation
On a hill call Calvary
He shed His blood for my sin
So that I could be free indeed
But though I'm free from sin
(Oh-oh-oh)
A slave to my Lord am I
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
'Cause when Jesus called a man
He bids him to come and die

Two roads diverged in my life
I took the one less traveled by
I had to leave my old ways of living
For the cross, the cross is a radical thing
I've been crucified with Jesus
No longer I live but He lives in me
I've left everything for my King
For the cross, the cross is a radical thing

Like the rich young ruler
(Oh-oh-oh)
Who wanted heaven on his own terms
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
We try to find an easy way
But there's a cross to bear
And a lesson to learn

The cross is a radical thing

Two roads diverged in my life
I took the one less traveled by
I had to leave my old ways of living
For the cross, the cross is a radical thing
I've been crucified with Jesus
No longer I live but He lives in me
I've left everything for my King
For the cross, the cross is a radical thing

Two roads cutting in my life
I took the one less traveled by
I had to leave my old ways, all my old ways
For the cross, the cross is a radical thing
I've been crucified with Jesus
No longer I live but He lives in me
I've left everything for my King
Don't you know the cross is a radical thing
