how did Jesus manage to stand under the great burden of the sins of men?

So steal my heart and take the pain
and wash the feet and cleanse my pride
take the selfish, take the weak,
and all the things I cannot hide
take the beauty, take my tears
the sin-soaked heart and make it yours
take my world all apart
take it now, take it now
and serve the ones that I despise
speak the words I can't deny
watch the world I used to love
fall to dust and thrown away
I look beyond the empty cross
forgetting what my life has cost
so wipe away the crimson stains
and dull the nails that still remain
so steal my heart and take the pain
take the selfish, take the weak
and all the things I cannot hide
take the beauty, take my tears
take my world apart, take my world apart
I pray, I pray, I pray

take my world apart "Worlds apart" - Jars of Clay

i cried the tears you could not cry
said the words you tried to hide
felt the pain you felt before
prayed with you right by your side
heartened by your love for God
burdened by the pain you fought
waiting for the day to be
of healing done and grief to cease
