[Intro]
[Verse]
He died for us the darkest death
Crucified in body and mind
He bore our sins ‘til his last breath
Through pain untold to save the blind
[Chorus]
We carry our cross. We carry our cross
We bear our burdens daily
The pain of love. The pain of loss
The absence of the holy
[Verse]
I suffer and I sacrifice
I strive to find my rightful way
The spirit in me cuts no ice
When darkness veils my gentle day
[Chorus]
We carry our cross. We carry our cross
We bear our burdens daily
The pain of love. The pain of loss
The absence of the holy
[Verse]
As I survey the Son of Man
Hanging b***d-torn on the tree
I see no hope - try as I can
The whole damn deal a mystery
[Chorus]
We carry our cross. We carry our cross
We bear our burdens daily
The pain of love. The pain of loss
The absence of the holy
[Verse]
But then I look beyond this Self
Outside this fallen wretched frame
For truth in words though I be deaf
His will to share - and bear - our pain
[Chorus]
We carry our cross. We carry our cross
We bear our burdens daily
The pain of love. The pain of loss
The absence of the holy
[Chorus]
We carry our cross. We carry our cross
We bear our burdens daily
The pain of love. The pain of loss
The absence of the holy
[Verse]
He died for us the darkest death
Crucified in body and mind
He bore our sins ‘til his last breath
Through pain untold to save the blind
[Chorus]
We carry our cross. We carry our cross
We bear our burdens daily
The pain of love. The pain of loss
The absence of the holy
[Chorus]
We carry our cross. We carry our cross
We bear our burdens daily
The pain of love. The pain of loss
The absence of the holy
[Outro]
