Why must this cross I carry
Be such a heavy burden
I'm to weak on my own to do this
That much I know for certain

You have more faith in me Lord
Than I have in myself
If you really knew me
You would find somebody else

That is when it is you remind me
Who you've used to build your kingdom come
Prostitutes, thieves, and liars
The list goes on and on

When you needed perfection
That's the moment you sent us your Son
Who am I to even question
The Perfect Righteous One

Sometimes I seem to forget Lord
You're the one who knows me best
You look beyond my present
You're not concerned with my past

You're the one who knows of the future
Because you hold it all in your hands
To bring forth that which you have promised
In the fulfillment of your mighty plan

So Lord, help lift this cross that I carry
Onto this great sinners back
Giving me the strength to succeed
In all the things for you that I lack
