It’s the Cross that Carries Me

by The Inpirations

Some may look at me and think I’m burdened,
With the way of life too hard to live.
They say to follow christ takes more commitment,
Than anyone should ever have to give.
If they could only see the Cross from my perspective,
They’d know the joy it has brought to me.
If they only knew that Christ has been more faithful,
That I, that I could ever hope to be.

For the cross has carried me through every struggle,
Grace has been my strength when I was weak.
You may only see this cross that I carry,
Oh the truth is, yes the truth is, it’s the cross that carries me.

The cares of this life are truly the burden,
The worry and the fear will weigh you down.
If the strength of it all has left you searching,
I know exactly where relief can be found.
Oh, there’s a hill where you can trade in all your troubles,
And the cross is waiting for you too.
And once you take this cross to carry,
You will find it’s the cross that carries you.
