For so long you’ve tried really hard,
But your problems just drag you down,
You long so much to simply be happy,
Yet you always seem to wear a frown.
You thought you finally had a victory,
Before a new challenge came your way,
What’s the use you keep on wondering,
You can’t seem to keep troubles at bay.
Let me share with you a little secret,
That will place you on the right track,
It’s a sure-fire way to rise above all,
When you find yourself under attack.
You simply need to give it all to Jesus,
And stop trying to carry the load alone,
Just let Him bear that burden for you,
And you’ll no longer moan and groan.
You need to trust Him for the outcome,
No, do not rely on your own strength,
If you wisely follow this suggestion,
You’ll finally be victorious at length.
As this old world grows ever colder,
And so many turn towards the night,
Rejecting all of God’s messengers,
Our burden no longer seems so light.
Indeed, as another year progresses,
We find ourselves even more defamed,
They accuse us of hatred and bigotry,
For many other things we are blamed.
They pile accusations on our backs,
And weigh us down with all their lies,
But a weak Christian may not bear it,
Yes, no matter how hard he even tries.
But there is one really simple solution,
Which can help us all to rise above,
We have to maintain our eyes on Jesus,
Never doubting in His wonderful love.
Remember one thing the Lord told us,
Is that the load isn’t ours alone to bear,
We must cast all our burdens on Him,
Knowing that He will always be there.
So please rest your troubles in Jesus,
No matter how dark your day may get,
The Lord will handle every situation,
There is no need for you to ever fret.
