I'll trade my cross for a crown
When the burdens of this life are gone
I know Jesus will know I am worthy
When He welcomes me safely at home
It seems I can hear Jesus saying
"Come home, lay all your burdens down
For the cross you have carried is worthy
To trade for a heavenly crown"
If the blackness of sin should surround me
I'll long lay this cross of mine now
When the day Jesus called me to glory
I'll trade this old cross for a crown
It seems I can hear Jesus saying
"Come home, lay all your burdens down
For the cross you have carried is worthy
To trade for a heavenly crown"
