I don't know if this is the song you'ree looking for but this is an old hymn.

I Will Trade The Old Cross For A Crown

Verse: 1
I shall not bear the cross through yon city,
when the burdens of life are laid down,
when I knock on the portals of heaven,
I will trade the old cross for a crown.

Chorus:
Yes, I'll trade the old cross for a crown,
when the burdens of life are laid down,
when the pearl gates for me shall swing open,
I will trade the old cross for a crown.

Verse: 2
Though the cross often times has been heavy,
and oft fortune on me seems to frown,
but how happy I'll be over yonder,
when I trade the old cross for a crown.

Verse: 3
Oft, my bark has been tossed on life's billows,
and each wave tries my vessel to drown,
but no storm cloud can harm me forever,
when I trade the old cross for a crown.

Verse: 4
Every cross that I bear for my Savior,
will at last when he calls be laid down,
and my sorrows will all be forgotten,
when I trade the old cross for a crown.

it also says something in this song about too far to turn back now
