The Burden I Bare

All through my life, upon hearing
or reading the accounts of Christ
carring the cross...I thought...
I would run to His side
and lift the cross from His shoulders
and help Him carry the cross.
Now as the years have gone by...
I find myself asking Him for help
carring the burden I bare.
Instead of helping I am asking for help.
He who is all things
and the heart of my love...
I ask for help.
For without His help
I can no longer carry the burden that I bare.
Fear of wrong solutions and mistakes
loom dark on my horizon.
I utter the prayer...
"show me the way...help me through this day."
Deep in the pit of dispair I utter...
"take up my burden with me...
let me see The Light that shines bright within Thee."
Without hope I am lost...
therefore I beseech Thee...
"help me with the burden that I bare."
