I heard the rooster crow Your words hit my soul As tears filled my eyes Bitterness took ahold of me How could I do this thing? In the end it wasn’t worth it I’d rather make the sacrifices Living close to you No matter what it will cost me I realize now, Following close to you Has a cost There is a cross to carry Living close to Jesus May not be so easy There is a cross to carry, There is a cross to carry Living close to Jesus May not be so easy There is a cross to carry, Please Count the cost
