Lyrics
I’m bearin’ too many crosses by Vic Zarley My neighbor went and got me in a quandary His dog was howling every single night I saw him where we two do our laundry The two of us got into a fist fight God’s asking me to learn to love my neighbor I know that I should never strike him down We must heed the words of our Savior I thought--as they carted me down town Chorus: Oh, I’m bearin’ too many crosses My Lord already bore one for me Why am I suffering so many losses When Jesus already set me free? Yes, I’m bearin’ too many crosses And I wonder when I’m gonna learn What Jesus taught to me Was meant to set me free So I’m happy as I wait for His return The judge has got an attitude that’s shocking I don’t know why he ever took the oath But at the door my Savior’s standing, knocking Sometimes I feel just like a Christian oaf How can I love that judge, how he hates me But Jesus, You have said that I must try Oh, God, I wish that You could medicate me I’m suffering--but You, Lord, had to die! (chorus) I said that I was sorry to my neighbor And he agreed to bring his dog inside I told him that God’s love was so much greater And of Jesus--and he broke down and cried My neighbor hadn’t known about my Savior The timing for it never was quite right Now he’s my friend, a fellow Jesus craver I’m sorry that we ever had to fight (chorus)
