[hometext] => Having a "cross to bear" means any painful responsibility that is fored upon you. To "wash one's hand of it" means to refuse to take responsibility for an action or event.
[bodytext] => I hear tales of a certain man, So dear a price he paid. From the dawn of time conceived a plan, Of which the whole world should be saved. In was atomic life, And light more rediant than the stars. The light of men couldn't comprehend, The same was in the beginning with God. Soon the reputation of his many deeds Enlivened men's hearts with faith Even the infidel began to belive In the miraculous revelation of his wake By way of love, and fervent prayers He toppled many strong holds Yet so many stood, intent to snare This pure and benevolent soul Betrayed by one; Judas Iscariot The Old Testament prophesier Now stood before Pontius Pilate Condemned as the pretend Messiah On his head they placed a crown of thorns Mocking him "saying hail King of Jews. From his back his clothing was torn, Revealing a body badly bruised. Off to the dreary hill of Calvary He lugged the wooden cross of shame At midday the land darken tremblingly.. The lamb of God was slain. Having a cross to bear Can mean many painful things. Having faith to take it to the Lord in prayer Assure that his suffering was not in vain.
