I Will Trade the Old Cross for a Crown
Recorded by Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver
Written by Johnson Oatman Jr. and John M. Henson
G D7 G
I shall not bear the cross through yon city
C G
When the burdens of life I lay down
D7 G
When I knock on the portals of heaven
C D7 G
I will trade the old cross for a crown
D7 G
Though the cross often times has been heavy
C G
And all fortune on me begins to frown
D7 G
But how happy I'll be over yonder
C D7 G
When I trade the old cross for a crown
D7 G
And I will trade the old cross for a crown
D7 A7 D7
When the burdens of life I lay down
G B7 C
When those pearly gates for me shall swing open
G C D7 G
I will trade the old cross for a crown
D7 G
Every cross that I bear for my Savior
C G
Will at last one day when He calls me lay down
D7 G
And all my sorrow will then be forgotten
C D7 G
And that's when I'll trade the old cross for a crown
