TAKE THE LOAD OFF<\/p>\n

Sometimes our life is easy,
\nSometimes it can be hard,
\nOft times we may even worry,
\nHow we’ll make the next yard.<\/p>\n

Our problems tumble about us,
\nWe begin to sink in the mire,
\nOur minds also start to faint,
\nThe situation looks so dire.<\/p>\n

Bad things keep on piling up,
\nOh where to get the strength?
\nBut now if we are truly wise,
\nWe’ll call on Jesus at length.<\/p>\n

His shoulders are very broad,
\nHe can really bear anything,
\nThe solution is just so simple,
\nOur trials to Him we must bring.<\/p>\n

The Lord will give us strength,
\nWhere there was none at all,
\nHe will guide our every step,
\nSo that we never take a fall.<\/p>\n

This is such an easy lesson,
\nYet it takes so long to learn,
\nSo remember for the next time,
\nHe is with you at every turn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
