Someone Shares Our Burdens

 

 Have you ever known days when nothing goes right,

When everything seems to go wrong?

Have you ever had times when friends let you down

And you're weak when you want to be strong?

 

Have problems beset you on every side,

'Til you simply don't know where to turn,

And no one seems able to lend you a hand

When you seek a solution to learn?

 

Has illness or grief taken over your life?

Is your body or mind wracked with pain?

Are you so filled with spite, guilt, envy or hate

That happy thoughts cannot remain?

 

We will all suffer anguish sometime in our life,

But we don't have to face it alone;
There is Someone who's waiting our burdens to share,

There is Someone who'll make them His Own.

 

That Someone is Jesus, through Him is the Way

That leads to contentment and rest;

He'll give us the strength all our trials to endure...

In His love all our days will be blessed.

 

So turn to the Master, with prayers and praise,

Give yourself to Him body and soul;

In that glorious bondage you'll find yourself free

To live with His throne as your goal.
