One True King - Heavy

Heavy thoughts fill my heart tonight
Not much wrong, but not much right
It's come down to fight or flight
And I wanna just quit
Cuz I got scars and scrapes and stains
But the bitter truth remains
I'm the author of my pain
More than I care to admit
As I walk this broken road

The cross is heavy, it's messy, unpleasant
And You're calling me to take it up daily
Unending, surrendering, all the me that I just won't give up
I hit my knees and cry out one more time
Lord, take this cup, Your will not mine

The future we've left for our youth
They're spinning out and that's the truth
Just look around, you'll see the proof
What will we do with this?
As they walk the broken road
Oh Lord, help them with this load

The cross is heavy, it's messy, unpleasant
And You're calling them to take it up daily
Unending, surrendering, all the me that they just won't give up
I hit my knees and cry out one more time
Lord, take this cup, Your will not mine

The Word says demons flee at the name of Jesus
But too many speaking Scripture like it's meant to please us
So here we stand, we're born again
Mere mortal man, his perfect plan
We try our best to understand beyond His hand we shake
The enemy hates you and me, puts sin in music and TV
They're leading youth like rats to cheese, how much we gonna let 'em take
