He carried, he carried, he carried the staggering load
of our sin and sickness,
and every unfilled valley.

He carried, he carried, he carried the staggering load

For one and all, you and me
before we knew him from Adam
and hailed him in pews so easy

He carried, he carried, he carried the staggering load

He knew what he was doing
before anyone else at all
looked like he was helpless 

He carried, he carried, he carried the staggering load

Rose in three days but people still ignore him
counting him part of bad religion
oh peoples wake up- he'll do you right

He carried, he carried, he carried the staggering load

Rise with him by faith oh lost one if you dare
he'll bear you up today and forever
set you free from every care

He carried, he carried, he carried the staggering load.
