I'm coming to the cross again
The place where all the sin
Is squarely placed on you
I've tried to walk in my own strength
I lay it down before your thorny crown
I've tried so hard to be someone
That you'd be proud to call your son
To earn the love I know I don't deserve
Yet when I think I'm standing tall
The greater height, the bigger fall
Now all I see is my futility
I feel the burden slipping down again
from falling down like rain
I feel the shame of shallowness
The kind of measured holiness
How much of this is wooden straw?
I want to work for something
more than piety, respectability
I feel the burden slipping down again
can't stop the tears from falling
na -na -na -na -na na -na -na -na -na -na -na -na
-na -na -na -n a -na -na -na -na -na -and
I feel the burden slipping down again
Can't stop the tears from falling
When the words cut like a knife
And harsh rejection haunts my life
This was the pain you felt
You walked this road a thousand times
The victim of the cruelest crimes
and left for dead by every friend you had
And when the accusations came
and you refused to play their game
no words of hate to set the record straight
And when they taunted at the cross
if you are God then save yourself
you set your face to free this fallen race
I feel the burden slipping down again
can't stop the tears from
I feel the burden slipping
Can't stop the tears from
