The Burden Bearer - No. 105

Psalm 55:22, “Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.”

 

Is your burden heavy, is it weighing you down?

Do you no longer smile, all you wear is a frown?

Are you feeling stressed out? Your body’s in pain?

Are you confused, tormented, feel like going insane?

 

Hang on a minute! You don’t have to bear this strain,

There is a Burden-bearer who will carry your pain.

He left the glory of heaven to come and die for your sin,

And carry your burdens, your anguish and sorrows on Him.

 

Give your heartache to God, He’s promised to carry it all,

To try on your own, you’ll only stumble and fall.

He’ll not only carry your burden, but sustain you too,

Holding you up in His arms to see from His point of view.

 

All you have to do is come to the foot of the cross,

Hand over your burden and all that is dross,

Give up your rights to do it your own way,

Trust your life to His hands and He’ll lead each day.

 

He is your Savior, Deliverer, your Resting Place,

Your Fortress, your Shield and your Hiding Place,

Your Sustainer and Helper with stretched out arms

Who’ll carry your through storms and bring you to calm.

 

He is your Fountain, the fresh Eternal Spring

Who takes your sadness and makes you sing.

He is your Comforter, Healer and He is the Dew

Who comes with His mercies each morning anew.

 

He is your Hope, your Refuge, your Song,

Strengthener and Shepherd who carries you along.

He is Almighty God who will carry your sorrow,

Give it to Him today, don’t wait ‘til tomorrow.

 

I love how The Message Bible translates this Scripture, “Pile your troubles on God’s shoulders – He’ll carry your load, He’ll help you out.”
