There is a great weight on my shoulders, but it's not mine alone to bear, <br />To me it represents freedom, but others see despair. <br /> <br />There is a great weight on my shoulders, it weighs 125 pounds, <br />Some say that it's too heavy and I need to put it down. <br />I tell them that I can't and its power is so profound. <br /> <br />There is a great weight on my shoulders; it's made from a piece of wood, <br />Others see it as bad, but all I see is good. <br /> <br />There is a great weight on my shoulders; it once stood on Calvary, <br />Now it dwells among us, a light for all to see. <br /> <br />There is a great weight on my shoulders; some say it's just a tree, <br />But because of its atonement, I live eternally. <br /> <br />There is a great weight on my shoulders; some say it's just a Cross, <br />But when I use it in my battles, Satan gets the loss. <br /> <br />If there's a great weight on your shoulders, it's not yours alone to bear, <br />Go running towards my Jesus, and say a little prayer. <br />His arms are stretched wide open, He's waiting, and He cares. <br /> <br />When you choose to do this; you are not alone, <br />Welcome to the family, fellow heir to the throne.<br /><br />Matthew Buck<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-weight-on-my-shoulders/
