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
