[Verse 1]
We try to carry the weight of the world
We could just lay it all down
After we've buried the hatchet within
As we sink to drown

[Verse 2]
Make the mistake and we'll do it again
And maybe not ever to learn
One day we'll wake and the night will be seen
And we will discern it all

[Refrain]
Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross
Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross
Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross
Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross

[Verse 3]
The flesh is so weak, but the spirit is strong
Faith could move mountains away
Why do we seek everything that is wrong
And become the prey?

[Verse 4]
We were created, yet that is debated
But Christ said it so perfectly:
"I am the way and the truth and the life and you get to
The Father through me!" "Through me!"
[Refrain]
Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross
Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross
Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross
Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross

[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]
Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross
Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross
Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross
Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross
Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross
Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross
Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross
Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross; Take it to the cross

[Outro]
Take it to the cross
Take it to the cross
Take it to the cross
Take it to the cross
