RCCG Hymn 568
I Must Needs Go Home by the Way of the Cross
"But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ." - Gal 6:14
I must needs go home by the way of the cross, There's no other way but this; I shall ne'er get sight of the gates of Light, If the way of the cross I miss.
Chorus
The way of the cross leads home, The way of the cross leads home, It is sweet to know, as I onward go, The way of the cross leads home.
I must needs go on in the blood sprinkled way, The path that the Saviour trod, If I ever climb to the heights sublime, Where the soul is at home with God.
Then I bid farewell to the way of the world, To walk in it never more; For my Lord says "Come," and I seek my home, Where He waits at the open door.
