lyrics

Dear God
You know where my heart lies
You know too where my desires reside.
I want to do things right.
I want to get back to where you abide.
To call it struggle you have to fight
Bloody knuckles tell between a man
who wants to press on
and a man who wants nothing more than to die

I am not a hypocrite
but I am sick of this

Bring on the new man
the old man died when
(2x)

When I came to your cross
Because your cross is enough
And everything I have on my own
I count it all as lost.

Why don't you just lay down all your burdens onto God
Cast all your cares upon Him and He will carry you
Instead you lay your body down again
You've let yourself lose before this even began.
Try as hard as you can
It doesn't change a thing
Without the strength of God
Your spirit and His
Will be far away
Your life will produce
Nothing but decay
Oh yeah
Did you come to earth as a man that I should fail
Your death alone it rent the veil
So together we can live and speak
Speak to my heart and make me free
Make me free

When I came to your cross
Because your cross is enough
Bring on the new man
The old man died when

When I came to your cross
Because your cross is enough
And everything I have on my own
I count it all as lost.
