If You Want To Wear A Crown
Recorded by George Jones
Written by Eddie Noack and Marvin Rumley

C                    F       C
You've got to run to win the race
             F                 G7
Go along the way and quick the pace
            F                                    C
So remember when you're worried faith is falling down
                                    G7             C
That you got to bear a cross if you want to wear a crown

            F               C
Our Lord is testing us each day
             F            G7
He'll try us out in every way
         F                         C
So don't despair when burdens fall around
                               G7             C
You got to bear a cross if you want to wear a crown

                     F           C
You've seen some men rise to the top
          F                    G7
Then fall apart if they should drop
                F                C
They can't live on without their wealth
                                   G7              C
They blame the Lord above and they never blame themselves

             F                C
Out of these fallen some will rise
             F           G7
Accept their fate and realize
               F                                     C
That their own trial to God they'll hear the trumpet sound
                                      G7             C
That you got to bear the cross if you want to wear a crown
