I have a passionate longing
For the path of the cross,
The age of fire is propelling,
There's no excuse to tarry.
Stick to the path of the cross,
'Tis my only homeward way,
Stick to the path of the cross,
'Tis my only homeward way.

Refrain

Follow Christ to Gethsemane,
Follow Him to Calvary,
Till I enter eternity,
No more darkness, cloud and pain.

This homeward path of the cross,
Pain and distress abound,
Frequent weakness and trial,
Lots of injuries and tears.
Upheld by His unfailing hands,
I resolutely move on,
Upheld by His unfailing hands,
I resolutely move on.

Refrain

My choice is the path of the cross,
Not the wide and easy way,
Willing to shed blood and suffer,
Not be spared with compromise.
Embracing the shame of the cross,
Share with Him the bitter cup,
Embracing the shame of the cross,
Share with Him the bitter cup.

Refrain

The homeward journey of the cross,
Is a long and dreary way,
Lots of blood and tears and battles,
Multiple hardship and storms.
In the past many thousand years,
Here the martyr's blood was shed,
In the past many thousand years,
Here the martyr's blood was shed.

Refrain

****************************************************

我心飢渴地愛慕著，十字架的歸去路，
火的時代催我前走，不容稍有所踟躕，
認定十字架的血路，這是我唯一歸途，
認定十字架的血路，這是我唯一歸途。

副歌

隨主走到客西馬尼， 隨主到髑髏彊土，
最後進入永遠家鄉，無悲痛黑暗雲霧。

這條十字架的歸路， 凄酸痛苦多雲霧，
常經軟弱試煉枯乾，多有眼淚和傷楚，
然而主慈手常攙扶，領我前進不後顧，
然而主慈手常攙扶，領我前進不後顧。

副歌

我寧揀選十架苦路，不願揀選平安路，
我願流血秦國道途，不願偷生在斯土，
甘受十字架的凌辱，與主同嚐杯中苦，
甘受十字架的凌辱，與主同嚐杯中苦。

副歌

十字架所歸去之路，不是漫長的征途，
有血有淚又有戰爭，多風多雨多險阻，
幾千年來的殉道血，都在這路上流出，
幾千年來的殉道血，都在這路上流出。
