Burden of Grace

(mmm-mmm-mmm) A heavy beam upon the spine

To pay a debt that wasn't thine

Every step a painful cost

To rescue what was surely lost

Oh, the weight

upon those shoulders

As the cold night

grew much colder

With a love

that broke the chain

Trading glory

for our pain

(yes he did)

Silent through

the mocking crowd

With head determined, never bowed

He bore the scars and wore the thorn

So a new promise could be born

No greater love has ever been defined

Than leaving all the majesty behind

To bear the cross,

to set us free (oh,

mercy)

He paid the cost (yes he did)

For all the lost (mmm-mmm)
