I will lay down the burdens,
spend my life bearing,
and confess I'm a sinner for whom Jesus died.
For whom Jesus died,
I will live every moment in the light of His mercy.
And I won't take for granted His loving sacrifice.
I will carry the cross of Christ,
hold to the hope I'm given,
reach out to those in need and show them love.
Yeah,
yeah, yeah.
Yeah,
with all of my soul and strength,
as long as my heart is beating,
I'll follow the
one who laid down His life for mine.
Carry the cross of Christ.
I will make it my mission to serve those around me,
to care for the broken,
pray for the lost.
I will walk in the footsteps of my Lord and my Savior,
and I'll live out the gospel.
No matter what the cost,
I will carry the cross of Christ,
hold to the hope I'm given,
reach out to those in need and show them love.
Yeah,
with all of my soul and strength,
as long as my heart
is beating,
I'll follow the one who laid down His life for mine.
I will carry the
cross of Christ.
And I will not lay it down
till I lay it at His feet.
No, I will not lay it down
till I touch eternity.
I will carry the cross of Christ,
hold to the hope I'm given,
reach out to those in need
and show them love.
Yeah,
with all of my soul and strength,
as long as my heart
is beating,
I'll follow the one who laid down His life for mine.
Hold to those in need and show them love.
Yeah,
with all of my soul and strength,
as long as my heart is beating,
I'll follow the
one who laid down His life for mine.
