We try to carry the weight of the world
When we could just lay it all down
Often we bury the hatchet within
As we sink to drown

Make the mistake and we'll do it again
And maybe not ever to learn
One day we'll wake and the light will be seen
And we will discern it all

Take it to the cross
Take it to the cross
Take it to the cross

The flesh is so weak but the spirit is strong
Faith could move mountains away
Why do we seek everything that is wrong And become the prey

We were created yet that is debated
But Christ said it so perfectly
I am the way and the truth
And the life and you get to
The father through me through me

Take it to the cross
Take it to the cross
Take it to the cross
