I have stood beside the wounded saint

Whose faith was strong and sure

And I've questioned why a loving God

Would let the pain endure

Yet in my struggle for assurance

God reminds me once again

That although I feel the burden

The weight belongs to Him



CHORUS

He carries those who carry the cross

His arms reach deeper

Than our deepest needs

He carries those who suffer the loss

When the way of Christ means sacrifice

I will not fear the cost-Heaven knows

He carries those who carry the cross



I've been blessed enough to witness grace

From both sides of the pain

And if I had to do it all again

There's nothing I would change

And so if I don't seem too troubled

When the clouds are closing in

It's because no storm can reach me

That hasn't come through Him



CHORUS



BRIDGE

You know that He carried the weight

Of the world upon His shoulders

And I know He can carry you and me



CHORUS
