THE BURDEN OF LOVING ME—THE ERWINS I thought I was unlovable I thought I crossed the line And I thought I was way too much trouble And reasons to love me must've been hard to find But you took the cross on Your shoulder You saw what you knew I could be Each and every day Lord I'm more and more amazed That You would carry the burden of loving me Your grace was so unconceivable For giving my everything Your mercy is sure unbelievable Yet time and again, I have pushed you away And you took the cross on Your shoulder You saw what you knew I could be Each and every day Lord I'm more and more amazed That You would carry the burden of loving me Before the nails pierced Your skin Before You took all my sin Before Your love turned in a pain Before Your blood fell down like rain Lord, You could've walked away But you took the cross on Your shoulder You saw what you knew I could be Each and every day Lord I'm more and more amazed That You would carry the burden of loving me That You would carry the burden of loving me
