We Carry The Saving Cross

I can still remember this song way back during the World Youth Day that was held in Manila in 1995. I took a few days off from work to participate.

The Way of the Cross

Refrain
We carry the saving cross through
The roads of the world.
Through the alleys of poverty and misery.
Marching to a dawning day to freedom and victory,
To God’s life and endless glory.

I
Christ, bread of life, the self-giving Lord of all
He leads the way of the cross.
(ref)

Ii
Christ, sent by God, obedient to the father’s will
He leads the way of the cross.
(ref)

Iii
Christ truth and life, condemned by false hood
He leads the way of the cross.
(ref)

Iv
Christ, of the poor, condemned through innocent
He leads the way of the cross.
(ref)

V
Christ, redeemer, crowned with piercing thorns
He leads the way of the cross.
(ref)

Vi
Christ, victor through the saving cross
He leads the way of the cross.
