If you've been trying to write a particular idea or title for a long time, but it keeps eluding you, don't give up. This idea took 10 years. The first document I have in my laptop by this title was saved in 2004. Over the years, David Moffitt (who had the idea at the beginning) and I tried it as an inspo power ballad, a pop ballad, and finally as a worship song. Over and over we tried writing the idea that we take up our cross daily and follow Christ. Finally, David said something like we should try writing that living the cross meant that we are free because of the cross and that believing in the cross and trusting what Jesus did there changes everything we do in this life. It's a blessing to "Live The Cross." Travis Cottrell ended up helping us, and the song is in an Easter musical for this year called Jesus, Only Jesus.
Be patient, but persist. Some songs just take a long time to be born.
