This cross is such a heavy load
My faith is growing cold
Lord God hear my cry
My soul is heavy laden
Crawling slowly towards the Carpenter's shop
I reached the front door stopped
Let go of my cross and I instantly dropped
In His eyes I saw compassion as He lifted me up
Son of David I stated I feel like giving this up
My relationship with You is on the rocks
I'm always trying to stand
But constantly falling a lot and it won't stop
I don't know how much more of this I am able to take
I'm gonna break forever making mistakes
My financial situation is rough
I'm clocking at my job daily but I know that I'm not making enough
My supervisor doesn't like me much
He's such a jerk
Trying to find different reasons so he can write me up
I need an additional part-time cause I'm so far behind
I've looked through countless classifieds
But a decent job is so hard to find
And all this time I sit behind a cubicle knowing inside
This isn't what You have for me to do
Jesus I'm only getting older
My ministry hasn't blossomed and I'm ready to put this to a closure
While my group is constantly getting looked over
So-called Christian artists
That don't promote You get the most exposure
And the ones that do are into themselves
They're all about making it big or either record sales
They're big-headed I heard their music then met em
Tried to show love saw they were rude then said forget em
I'm sick of hearing people tell us
Keep bringing it fellas
But when it's time to help us they consistently fail us
They can keep their encouraging lines
I know they take us for a joke
That's why my ministry is constantly broke
I'm forced to view Hazakim as a hobby Angry towards believers
That have brought this is building up inside of me
My car's a jalopy
My situation is lousy
My in-laws don't like me
This world can go on without me
During my visit I explained more of my struggles and troubles
Different issues I've been through
Pains and sickness as He sat and listened
Tears rolling down my cheek barely able to speak I said
Lord I'm just too weak as I laid at His feet
Lord the world flaunts their sin
And they sit back and dare You to react
I try to follow Your path and I'm under attack
In all this time You see me in despair it seems You're not there
This cross You gave me is too heavy to bear
This cross is such a heavy load
Trying to walk the straight and narrow road
But I'm afraid my faith is growing cold
Cause my soul is heavy laden
Please hear the cry of my distress
Lord I need a cross that weighs much less
I can't take this stress I long for Your rest
My soul is heavy laden
In the blink of an eye Jesus and I were in a humongous shed
I was shocked when He said
Put down your cross choose the one you prefer instead
As far as I could see I saw nothing but trees
In various shapes and sizes like lower-case T's
Seeing so many different crosses I admit was frightful
Yet I was completely mindful
This was the cost to being His disciple
As I walked beside Him
I realized the different crosses symbolized
Different burdens just by the different sizes
Deep inside I had to sympathize
Because before my eyes
Were the story of many different lives
I was a bit surprised when I saw unfolding before me
Testimony of the hurting You kept on with the journey
Through the myriads they endured some serious periods
Rose over them victorious with each experience
They lived holy I noticed not only were they crying for help
I saw the young and old finish the path by denying themselves
When they died and they were placed in the ground
It was then their cross was laid in exchange for a crown
The thought entered in the back of my mind
Surely the burdens they carried in their journey
Weren't half as bad as mine
Yeah at the pass of time I knew I had to find
A more comfortable cross to suit me finer like the kind
Than I had left behind
Without warning I saw before me tucked in the corner
Near the front door a cross that appeared to be shorter
I thought that's the kind I see myself bearing
It looks very easy to carry and won't have me constantly weary
Pointing at it selfishly I said
Jesus I made my decision with
Your permission I wish to carry this one
With the look of sadness He said
My child I'm fully aware of all you've been through
Nonetheless you may take it with you
But as I ran to grab the cross in front of me
Suddenly it started making sense
Aw man this is the cross I came in with
This cross is such a heavy load
Trying to walk the straight and narrow road
But I'm afraid my faith is growing cold
Cause my soul is heavy laden
Please hear the cry of my distress
Lord I need a cross that weighs much less
I can't take this stress I long for Your rest
My soul is heavy laden
If my soul is heavy laden
Sometimes I feel like
The pressures of this life coming down on me
But I know your word says
You'll never give me more than I can bear
So imma trust you Lord
Imma trust you Lord
Imma trust you Lord, yeah
Oww yeah
Lord God Imma trust You
My soul is heavy laden
My faith is growing cold
Lord God hear my cry
My soul is heavy laden
