The Cross He Carried - Luke Garrett

The Cross He Carried Lyrics

I watched Him there
Bleeding ‘neath the weight of the Roman cross
Stumbing as He bore it toward the hill
Some laughed at Him
Falling weak and weary before his foes
Innocent, yet sentenced to be killed
Soldiers dragged me from that crowd to bear His cross of shame
But after looking in His eyes
I knew I hadn’t eased His pain
Chorus 1
The cross He carried, no one else could share
The cross He carried, only He could bear
And as He walked that road alone
The cross He carried was my own
I felt the weight as they forced the burden upon my back

A burden that was only made of wood
I struggled on, knowing that His anguish was something more
Something I had never understood
Then Jesus looked at me with warm compassion in His eyes
I saw the Lamb that for sin of man was sacrificed
Chorus 2
The cross He carried, no one else could share
The cross He carried, only He could bear
And as He died to save all men
The cross He carried was our sin
The cross He carried was our sin
