Pain is a forest we all get lost in
Between the branches hope can be so hard to see
And in the darkness we've all got questions
We're all just trying to make sense out of suffering butYou say I am blessed because of this
So, I choose to believe
As I carry this cross, You'll carry me
Help me believe itFear is a current we all get caught in
And in its motion faith can be so hard to find
And we all falter 'cause we're all broken
We're all just trying to turn the shadows into light butYou get glory in the midst of this
And You're walking with me
And you say I am blessed because of this
So, I choose to believe
As I carry this cross, You'll carry meAnd I know Your promises are faithful
And God, I've seen Your goodness in my life
And oh, I've found Your mercy is a river
Your love is an ocean wideYou say I am blessed because of this
You get glory in the midst of this
And You're walking with meAnd You say I am blessed because of this
So, I choose to believe
As I carry this cross, as I carry this cross
'Cause as I carry this cross, You'll carry meYou'll carry me, God
You'll carry me
And Your love is an ocean wide
