Jeff & Sheri Easter - The Unexpected Cross lyrics

The Unexpected Cross

Travelling through Jerusalem, Simon of Cyrene

Came upon the Crucifixion of the innocent Nazarene

The Soldiers shouted orders, gave Simon’s heart a chill

Then he took the cross for Jesus, carried it up the hill

[Chorus:]

The unexpected Cross, is always hard to bear

But there’s glory in the suffering, Triumph in despair

For Christ is our example, and the crown is worth the cost

Lord, help me to bear faithfully, the unexpected cross

Along the road to heaven, crosses lie unsaved

A crisis for the moment, to keep the spirit keen

As Jesus gives the orders help to sacrifice the will

Take up the cross and follow, the victory on the hill

[Repeat chorus:]

Lord, help me to bear faithfully, the unexpected cross
