[Verse 1]
Once upon His back he knew
This was the beginning of the end
But every fragile step he grew
More and more determined to finish it
The world saw a man with a tree on His back
And they laughed
But God saw His Son who He loved
Carry more than that

[Chorus]
Oh, He didn't just carry a cross
He carried me
He didn't just count the cost
He counted me
So much has been said
Of what happened at Calvary
Oh, but I believe
He didn't just carry a cross
He carried me

[Verse 2]
Mercy held my broken heart
Close against His shoulders as He wept
Love beyond a moment scarred the hands and feet
Of one I've never met
The world saw a man die a martyr between
Two thieves
But God saw a lamb bridge the gap
Of eternity
[Chorus]
Oh, He didn't just carry a cross
He carried me
He didn't just count the cost
He counted me
So much has been said
Of what happened at Calvary
Oh, but I believe
He didn't just carry a cross
He carried me

[Outro]
So much has been said
Of what happened at Calvary
Oh, but I believe
He didn't just carry a cross, oh no
He didn't just carry a cross, no
He didn't just carry a cross
He carried me
He carried me
