[Joy] I don't wanna leave, I don't wanna pack up I don't wanna leave this place I know I really like who I am And I am really comfortable I don't wanna leave, I don't wanna pack up I don't wanna leave this place I know I really like who I am And I am really comfortable [Hosanna] I remember when I down-sized everything I owned And fit my belongings into a suitcase Did I wanna leave the place I was doing so well at? I wanted to go back and live the life I had planned on It wasn't too long before people would tell me that I was crazy, out of my mind The opportunities I was leaving behind to do something so unknown Even though I felt in my heart a strong, obvious calling But then I would start to doubt me Doubt if I was doing the right thing When so many people were against me They were right I was not 100% sure what I was doing But with all of me, I could vividly hear God saying [Joy] Come, come, come Pick up your cross, follow Me There is joy at the end of this Come, come, come Pick up your cross, follow Me There is joy at the end of this And I don't wanna leave, I don't wanna pack up I don't wanna leave this place I know I really like who I am And I am really comfortable I don't wanna leave, I don't wanna pack up I don't wanna leave this place I know I really like who I am And I am really comfortable [Hosanna] I remember going alone, starting on the road I didn't realize I was paving No one had been there before me, and it was exhausting Not sure if I even remember where I went What would lie ahead, and crying every night that the money would come in I was tested, left by friends and men I thought I would end up with I was mocked, their talk hurt me so bad I felt drowned in rejection No one was there to support me for my few successes And my many failures seemed to be put on [?] But at last I remembered that God had called me Taken me from a life of sin and restored me And He said He would use me, said He'd go before me And though some days I felt like the weight of the world was unbearably heavy I remembered clearly that He said [Joy] Come, come, come Pick up your cross, follow Me There is joy at the end of this Come, come, come Pick up your cross, follow Me There is joy at the end of this And I don't wanna leave, I don't wanna pack up I don't wanna leave this place I know I really like who I am And I am really comfortable I don't wanna leave, I don't wanna pack up I don't wanna leave this place I know I really like who I am And I am really comfortable [Hosanna] And then I remembered Jesus so vividly As I read His story, it was like He was speaking I remember going alone, paving the road for salvation It was crazy, the people I came to save and once loved Me One da they turned on Me, they no longer believed Me Thought it'd be easier to deny Me But I picked up My cross and let them laugh on I was on Earth for a purpose, and that was what I was focused on Saving people with furious love from the pits of an unloving hell Was more important than the crowd insisting to yell I let them shout, I was going about My Father's business I thought of the world being st free from sin and I knew it was worth it Worth the rejection, worth the hatred injections into My side And no, it wasn't easy, and yes, it killed Me But even when I cried to God to take this burden from Me I remembered, unquestionably, when He said [Joy] Come, come, come Pick up your cross, follow Me There is joy at the end of this Come, come, come Pick up your cross, follow Me There is joy at the end of this [Hosanna] So Jesus, I look to You carrying Your cross Your symbol of dying to Yourself Your grave, Your sign of surrender And because of You, I know I can carry it and carry on too Failing in front of the world, is it that scary? I remembered how little people used to think of You And salvation is something worth it to me too May the world see this cross, this white flag that I raise That my will, my plans, my flesh has lost And I choose this road, the narrow road that follows You I want to die with You, rise with You, I wanna be like You What You have called me to is worth fighting for Is worth failing for Nothing is more important than knowing and obeying You I know this gospel truth deep in my bones I have to stand for You even if I walk alone I remember God said, too I remember You endured far worse And because of what You have done, I will pick up my cross and [Joy] Come, come, come Pick up your cross, follow Me There is joy at the end of this Come, come, come Pick up your cross, follow Me There is joy at the end of this [Joy] Come, come, come Pick up your cross, follow Me There is joy at the end of this Come, come, come Pick up your cross, follow Me There is joy at the end of this What if I leave? What if I pack up? What if I leave this place I know? What if I give up who I was And I am never comfortable?
