I am looking for a song a group sang at my church. I think the name was I will trade the old cross for a crown. It's more of a fast beat song.
The chorus went something like this:

I'm not going to walk away
I'm not
I've got to much at stake
I've got
I've come to far to turn back now
I've come
Every battle that I have fought
Every battle
Will soon be forgot
Will soon
I'm trading this old cross for a crown

Thanks alot.

I think this is what you are looking for.

Trading My Cross For a Crown
(Collingsworth Family)

I started out with a made up mind
To one day cross the finish line
I'm pressing toward the mark and for the prize
At times I've had to stand my ground
As Satans tried to turn me around
But I will not be hindered by his lies

(Chorus)
I'm not going to walk away
I've got too much at stake
I've come too far to turn back now
Every battle that I have fought will soon be forgot
And I'm trading this old cross in for a crown

I can almost hear them cheer me on
And see the ones that have reached home
Now they await for us to win this race
A banquet like we've never known
Will be held at God's royal throne
And there we'll be rewarded for our faith

(Chorus)

(Repeat Chorus)

(Tag) Trading this old cross in for a crown

(Repeat Chorus)

(Repeat Tag)

Trading a Cross For a Crown

Verse 1:
I started out with a made up mind to one day cross the finish line
I'm pressing toward the mark and for the prize
At times I've had to stand my ground and Satan's tried to turn me around
But I will not be hindered by his lies

Chorus:
I'm not gonna walk away, I've got too much at stake
I've come too far to turn back now
Every battle that I have fought will soon be forgot
I'm trading this ole cross in for a crown

Verse 2:
I can hear the angels cheer me on and see the ones that have reached home
They now await for us to win this race
A banquet like we've never known will be held at God's royal throne
There we'll be rewarded for our faith

(Repeat Chorus)
