I see my Savior with thorn crowned head,
Bearing His cross for me;
Thorn pierced His brow, as by soldiers led,
Bearing His cross for me.
Refrain
Bearing His cross for me,
Bearing His cross for me;
Wonderful Savior, what anguish He bore,
Bearing His cross for me.
I see Him pass thro’ the city gate,
Bearing His cross for me;
On midst the taunts and the people’s hate,
Bearing His cross for me.
Refrain
I see Him burdened with this world’s sin,
Bearing His cross for me;
Willing to suffer, all hearts to in,
Bearing His cross for me.
Refrain
