There is a burden we could not bear The sin and the suffering, sorrow and pain The world in rebellion, forsaking His love He poured it out for us Nailed to the old rugged cross And it all falls down The weight of the world And it all falls down on Jesus Like a lamb led to slaughter And silent He hung The face of the Father Was turned from the Son The blood and the water It flowed from His side He poured it out for us Nailed to the old rugged cross For His yoke is easy, His burden is light His grace sufficient for us in this life His love is deep, His mercy is wide He gave His life for us Nailed to the old rugged cross
