Third Day Album: Wherever You Are Track: Carry My Cross
Carry My Cross Lyrics
As long as I remember I've been walking through the wilderness Praying to the Father And waiting for my time I've come here with a mission And soon I'll give my life for this world
I'm praying in the garden And I'm looking for a miracle I find the journey hard but It's the reason I was born Can this cup be passed on Lord, I pray your will be done In this world
So I'll carry my cross And I'll carry the shame To the end of the road Through the struggle and pain And I'll do it for love No, it won't be in vain Yes, I'll carry my cross And I'll carry the shame
I feel like I'm alone here And I'm treated like a criminal The time has come for me now Even though I've done no wrong Father, please forgive them They know not what they've done In this world
Three more days and I'll be coming back again Three more days and I'll be coming back again
Story Behind the Song: 'We all have crosses to carry. Maybe it's the guilt of sin. Maybe it's a loss or temptation. Maybe it's a personal or emotional affliction. The weight of those burdens can keep us paralyzed. Jesus carries them for us. But that's not all. Though we will always have struggles, God gives us not just another burden. God gives us a yolk that is light. We can side up with His kingdom and be a part of the incredible tale of human history with a unique and meaningful purpose.' - Tai Anderson (Third Day)
