When I burden my heart Lord, with burdens that I should ignore, <br />For all my cares, you told me, that I should cast them all to thee. <br />These burdens truly do hinder me, from being all that I can truly be. <br />You truly Lord, do care for me, in ways that my heart can not see. <br /> <br />I must wholeheartedly trust my Lord to have peace in me restored. <br />In His trial Christ died for me, to give me eyes that I could see. <br />Turn my trial to a blessing Lord, like the cross that Christ endured. <br />I must pick up my cross and follow Him; to remain in worry is a sin. <br /> <br />You will never forsake me Lord; you’re with me through every door, <br />Behind the door, I may not know, but you’re with me every place I go, <br />Worry is only Satan’s utter disguise, while he is working out demise. <br />Satan, being the father of all lies; he will even deceive the wise. <br /> <br />So in each trial and each hour, I must rely on God’s Loving Power, <br />This power is all of The Lord, coming from the cross He endured. <br />It’s all God’s Power; it’s not mine that lifts my burden every time. <br />For God is there comforting my heart, well before any trials start. <br /> <br />I need to allow others to see, just how much Lord, you care for me. <br />For you are always with me Lord, in each and every trial I endure. <br />When I cast the burden to you, you always lead me safely through. <br />So why should I worry and fear, when I know God is always near? <br /> <br />(Copyright ©11/2004)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/carrying-burdens/
