She's daddy's little girl
Only three years old
All dressed up in her Sunday clothes
He held her hand on bended knee
He said, "I need to show you how to find your way home"

As they walked along
How sweet the sound
Church bells ringing, people gathered 'round
Remember this church and the cross way up there
Sweetheart, if you ever get lost say..

Take me to the cross
High upon a steeple
The one where Jesus died for all the lost people
If you can't find home
Know you're not alone
Take me to the cross

As the years went by
Daddy's little girl
Lost herself out in a big, big world
And on the day her daddy died
She said, "I need to know why"

Take me to the cross
High upon a steeple
The one where Jesus died for hurting people
If you can't find home
Know you're not alone
Take me to the cross

Now that same little girl
Thirty years gone by
She still knows her daddy's by her side
She raises her little boy
In her father's way
And she smiles
When she hears her son say, "Hey, mom"

Take me to the cross
High upon a steeple
The one where Jesus died for all the lost people
If you can't find home
Know you're not alone

Remember the cross
High upon a steeple
The one where Jesus died for all the lost people
If you can't find home
Know you're not alone
Take me to the cross

Mama, take me to the cross
Take me to the cross
