Jesus, Please Take My Heavy Load!

Jesus, Please Take My Heavy Load!



 



Along the road of life,



I carry a load.



It feels quite heavy… 



As I travel a narrow road.



 



This load I carry is often



hard to bear…



At times, I stumble… 



And caught unaware.



 



The trials and burdens



 of life, I shall endure…



I’ll try to stay on a path



that’s secure.



 



There are times, however,



when I get in a hurry...



As the path of life becomes blurry.



 



During my travel, I look up



 to the dark skies…



I can almost look into



my heavenly father’s eyes…



 



As God reaches down,



with his arms so strong…



He’s there to help me



when things go wrong.



 



The Lord is there to help



 with my heavy burdens!



He’s also my guiding light… 



I am most certain!



 



The Lord is my shepherd



and is with me where I go…



He brought strength and



 rest for my weary soul.



 



This load I carry may be full



of so many things…



But grows lighter because of the love



that God brings!

About the Poet
I and my wife have 4 grown children and currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I've spent much of my life doing volunteer work in the food distribution for the needy among local churches. Many of the poems I've written are a reflection of times of adversity as a reminder of God's love and faithfulness. I've found many opportunities to share my poems with those who are hurting and discouraged. I'm thankful for the reports of many of the poems touching people's lives. I hope that the poems included on Wordchimes will touch and bless your life too!
