[ Featuring the Strangers ]
I don't want to die here God he screamed at the heavens
I don't wanna cry he wailed and wept like a child
I just want to fly away and see your face sweet Jesus in heaven
Oh no you can't do that
If you can't bear the cross, you can't wear the crown
If you can't bear the cross, then you can't wear the crown
If you can't bear the cross with Jesus, you can't wear the crown with Jesus!
All I want is happiness he whined at the alter
I delight in you oh Lord so grant my desire
Seeking first the kingdom to manipulate your Genie in heaven
Oh no you can't do that
If you can't bear the cross, you can't wear the crown
If you can't bear the cross, oh no you can't wear the crown
If you can't bear the cross with Jesus
You can't wear the crown with Jesus!
Only those who endure to the end will be saved in the end. So
Don't' be deceived... Only
Those who endure to the end will be saved in the end. So get
Down on your knees
If you can't bear the cross, you can't wear the crown
If you can't bear the cross, oh no you can't wear the crown
If you can't bear the cross with Jesus
You can't wear the crown with Jesus!
