The Cross I Bear

Lies and deception, my only protection
True is no boudary
Covered with pieces of Jesus and Angels
Fallen from Heaven

The lines are drawn here where I was raised
I fall into a curse to count the days
I know the crimes I've seen will never leave
But there can be salvation, I believe

Hateful for thinking, for dying for living
Awaiting the end of this
Failure in faith and a God who can't change me
I want to answer him

This cross I bear will never see the light
Our troubled souls are blinded in the night
I know the crimes of hate will never leave
But there can be forgiveness, I believe

When we get down to it
We see the pain's not worth it anymore
Once a week's been wasted
Never tasting all we adore

Your final moment shines with thundering sound
But they don't see the truth that I have found
I know your crimes and sins will never leave
But there is still salvation, I believe
