| Once upon His back He knew,
|
| This was the beginning of the end.
|
| With every fragile step he grew,
|
| More and more determined to finish it.
|
| The world saw a man with a tree on His back,
|
| And they laughed.
|
| But God saw His Son who He loved,
|
| Carry more than that.
|
| Oh, He didn’t just carry a cross, He carried me.
|
| He didn’t just count the cost, He counted me.
|
| So much has been said of what happened at Calvary,
|
| Oh but I believe,
|
| He didn’t just carry a cross, He carried me.
|
| Mercy held my broken heart,
|
| close against His shoulders as He wept.
|
| Love beyond a moment scarred the hands and feet,
|
| of one I never met.
|
| The world saw a man die a martyr between two thieves,
|
| But God saw a lamb bridge the gap of eternity.
|
| Oh, He didn’t just carry a cross, He carried me.
|
| He didn’t just count the cost, He counted me.
|
| So much has been said of what happened at Calvary,
|
| Oh but I believe,
|
| He didn’t just carry a cross, He carried me.
|
| So much has been said of what happened at Calvary,
|
| Oh but I believe,
|
| He didn’t just carry a cross, |
| Oh no, He didn’t just carry a cross,
|
| No He didn’t just carry a cross, He carried me.
|
| He carried me. |
