I will lay down the burdens I've spent my life bearing
And confess I'm a sinner 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, 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
And carry the cross of Christ
I will make it my mission to serve those around me
To care for the broken and 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, 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
And carry the cross of Christ
And I will not lay it down 'til I lay it at His feet
No, I will not lay it down 'til I touch eternity, yeah
I will carry the cross of Christ, hold to the hope I'm given
Reach out to those in need and show them love, 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
And carry the cross of Christ
I will carry the cross of Christ, hold to the hope I'm given
Reach out to those in need and show them love, 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
And carry the cross of Christ
