Weary and Heavy Laden

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This week my burdens grew heavy

While my spirit grew weak.

It seemed I could do nothing right,

Nor find words I should speak.

 

Then You spoke my name quietly,

So only I could hear,

Reminding me that, through it all,

I had no cause to fear.

 

Life is a burden now and then,

That seems too much to bear,

But You bring peace in the turmoil

And lift us from despair.

 

And when we find this life’s burdens

Overwhelm us, at length,

You pick us up, and brush us off

And offer us Your strength.

 

So, Lord, I’ll take up my burdens

And face each new day’s test

Knowing I have the assurance

That, in You, I’ll find rest!

 

Matthew 11:28

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
