VERSE 1
The cross He bore was heavy  
His love was stronger still 
His heart broke with ev’ry step 
He took up Calv’ry’s hill

PRE
He knew what it would take 
To pour out Heaven’s grace

CHORUS 
When He carried my cross
He took up my burden and made it His own
When He carried my cross
He showed me the greatest love I’ll ever know
He bore all my guilt, and all my blame, all my sin and all my shame
Jesus carried it all
When He carried my cross

VERSE 2
He chose to show me mercy
And walk that road for me
(He) proved to this unworthy soul   
My freedom isn’t free

PRE
He knew what it would take 
To pour out Heaven’s grace

CHORUS 

BRIDGE
Though He stumbled and fell
He knew in the end
Soon He would rise again 

CHORUS
