If You Want to Wear a Crown

If You Want to Wear a Crown - George Jones (乔治·琼斯)

You've got to run to win the race

Go along the way and quick the pace

So remember when you're worried faith

Is fallin' down

That you got to bear a 'cross

If you want to wear a crown

Our Lord is testing us each day

He'll try us out in every way

So don't despair

When burdens fall around

You got to bear a 'cross

If you want to wear a crown

We've seen some men rise to the top

Then fall apart if they should drop

They can't live on without their wealth

They blame the Lord above

And they never blame themselves

Out of these fallen some will rise

Accept their fate and realize

That their own trial to God

They'll hear the trumpet sound

That you got to bear the 'cross

If you want to wear a crown
