Array ( [sid] => 125664 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Bigger Cross [time] => 2006-09-12 19:43:21 [hometext] => I know others have more problems then I do, A heavier cross to carry, But the Lord told me different [bodytext] => I know about the cross I carry,
I can tell you the pain,
I can cry on your shoulder,
I can tell you about the tears that fall like rain.

I can call you up and let you know,
I can write you a letter and then,
But I will have to carry my cross,
How long, I don't know when.

I can't describe the cross I carry,
If it has color I don't know,
Would I like to paint it,
No, I don't think so.

I wouldn't want to hang a picture on it,
To decorate it and make it look fine,
But I do have a picture that is carved on my mind.

The picture of a man who died on one,
I know His cross was bigger than mine.

The Bigger Cross

I know about the cross I carry,
I can tell you the pain,
I can cry on your shoulder,
I can tell you about the tears that fall like rain.

I can call you up and let you know,
I can write you a letter and then,
But I will have to carry my cross,
How long, I don't know when.

I can't describe the cross I carry,
If it has color I don't know,
Would I like to paint it,
No, I don't think so.

I wouldn't want to hang a picture on it,
To decorate it and make it look fine,
But I do have a picture that is carved on my mind.

The picture of a man who died on one,
I know His cross was bigger than mine.
