Days breaking, hearts anticipating
The King's reigning and Christ is saving
The Son's rising, a new day's beginning
Sin's no longer deceiving
Hearts are burning as he's approaching
Love's revealing what this world's concealing
He's returning, the Son's rising
A new day's beginning
The cross is a burden we bear, the pain's a hurt we choose to take in
To gain it all and yet lose Christ, is an attempt that will never suffice
It's a persecution we choose to endure, it's a lifestyle Christ calls pure
We live in a setting we call the battlefield, we choose to take up our cross and let our lives heal
The cross is a burden we bear, the pain's a hurt we choose to take in
Chorus
The cross is a burden we bear, the pain's a hurt we choose to take in
To gain it all and yet lose Christ, is an attempt that can never suffice
It's a persecution we choose to endure, it's the lifestyle Christ calls pure
We live in a setting we call the battlefield, we choose to take up our cross and let our lives heal
The cross is a burden we bear, the pain's a hurt we choose to take in
Chorus
