I'm coming to the cross again
The place where all the sin
and shame of what I do
Is squarely placed on you
The pressure's more
than I can take
I've tried to walk in my own strength
I lay it down before your thorny crown
I've tried so hard to be someone
That you'd be proud to call your son
To earn the love I know I don't deserve
Yet when I think I'm standing tall
The greater height, the bigger fall
Now all I see is my futility
But when you touch me
I feel the burden slipping down again
And when you touch me
Can't stop the tears
from falling down like rain
I feel the shame of shallowness
The kind of measured holiness
Yes, that seems to fit,
the life I want to live
How much of this is wooden straw?
I want to work for something
more than piety, respectability
But when you touch me
I feel the burden slipping down again
And when you touch me,
can't stop the tears from falling
down like rain
na -na -na -na -na na -na -na -na -na -na -na -na
-na -na -na -n a -na -na -na -na -na -and
when you touch me
I feel the burden slipping down again
and when you touch me
Can't stop the tears from falling
down like rain
When the words cut like a knife
And harsh rejection haunts my life
I tell my self
This was the pain you felt
You walked this road a thousand times
The victim of the cruelest crimes
and left for dead by every friend you had
And when the accusations came
and you refused to play their game
no words of hate to set the record straight
And when they taunted at the cross
if you are God then save yourself
you set your face to free this fallen race
So when you touch me,
I feel the burden slipping down again
And when you touch me,
can't stop the tears from
falling down like rain
Why don't you touch me
I feel the burden slipping
down again
Why don't you touch me
Can't stop the tears from
falling down like break
