    Post Looking for these lyrics

    I recently remembered part of the lyrics to a song I heard years ago, and hope someone can help me find the complete lyrics for this song. I don't think this is the same song that the "Dixie Echoes" did in 1975. Here are the lyrics I remember:

    You're too near the crown to lay down the cross
    Don't give up the race you run will soon be o're.
    You're too near the crown to lay down the cross
    Just hold on, it won't be long til you'll be home.

    I think the title is "You're Too Near the Crown". If I remember correctly, the verses were sung by a female voice. Can anyone help?

    Thanks,
    SGWILSON

    1. Sometimes the way I travel, has moments of despair;
    Sometimes the cross I carry, seems so hard to bear.
    My feet become so weary, my soul within me groans,
    That's when the Holy Spirit, whispers, "Child, you're almost home!"

    cho. You're too near the crown, to lay down the cross,
    Don't give up, the race you've run, will soon be o'er.
    You're too near the crown, to lay down the cross,
    Just hold on, it won't be long, till you'll be there.

    2. From the time we start this Christian life, there's a cross to bear each day;
    Sometimes it gets so heavy, we may be prone to say,
    "Am I the only one O Lord, who has a cross to bear?"
    That's when He whispers gently, "Child your cross I'll bear."

    Hope you get this, but it's been four years since you asked for it.
