There is a burden we could not bear
The sin and the suffering, sorrow and pain
The world in rebellion, forsaking His love
He poured it out for us
Nailed to the old rugged cross
And it all falls down
The weight of the world
And it all falls down on Jesus
Like a lamb led to slaughter
And silent He hung
The face of the Father
Was turned from the Son
The blood and the water
It flowed from His side
He poured it out for us
Nailed to the old rugged cross
For His yoke is easy, His burden is light
His grace sufficient for us in this life
His love is deep, His mercy is wide
He gave His life for us
Nailed to the old rugged cross
