Send a Burden

​

A burden I would steadfast bear

And watch Your faithful plan supply

But easy is my given path

Perhaps, I scarcely need my guide.

 

Chain fetters on me and dismiss

Need not be gentle on this boy

O God, you know me better than this

Yet still I’m lifted on wings of joy

​

Let me fight through these weeds

Dig myself out, let me toil.

Just give what is coming my way to me.

Yet each day I’m planted in new soil

​

Why O Lord,

When justice cuts to bone,

You send me not to noose nor sword

But invite me to your throne.
