I'Ve Been Where You Are
Come share with Me your burdens,
let me take your heavy load.
I know the pain you're feeling,
I've been down that road.
You feel you've been forsaken,
by friends and family.
I once felt the same way,
when I hung on Calvary's tree.
Has someone betrayed you?
Have you falsely been accused?
Are you lonely and discouraged?
Have your actions been misconstrued?
I healed the sick and broken.
My teachings were not amiss.
Yet I was accused of blasphemy,
betrayed by Judas' kiss.
I taught about God's love and grace,
I raised the dead to life.
And still the people hated Me -
it pierced me like a knife.
So come tell me your troubles.
I'm always here for you.
You'll find no condemnation.
My love for you is true.
