[Verse 1] I woke up in the dust With splinters in my palm The road was long and narrow And my heart was barely calm You did not turn away When the crowd began to shout You shouldered all my shame And walked it all out [Pre-Chorus] Step by step You kept going Blood and breath Still flowing I could not Make it through So You carried me When I could not move [Chorus] You carried the cross For my soul You carried the cross Made me whole When I could not stand You held on You carried the cross You carried me home [Verse 2] I saw the nails, the thorn I heard the cracked-up sky Still Your love stayed steady In the middle of that why The hill was steep and silent But Your mercy did not fade You took the weight I ran from And you paid what I could not pay [Pre-Chorus] Step by step You kept going Blood and breath Still flowing I could not Make it through So You carried me When I could not move [Chorus] You carried the cross For my soul You carried the cross Made me whole When I could not stand You held on You carried the cross You carried me home [Bridge] Now I lay it down At the foot of that tree Every broken thing You have carried for me No more chains on my back No more need to hide What You bore in the dark Brought me back to life [Chorus] You carried the cross For my soul You carried the cross Made me whole When I could not stand You held on You carried the cross You carried me home
