My Burden Bearer

Constantly living with a heavy heart  

Travelling helplessly on earth’s lonely and weary path  

With the memory of my past tearing me apart 

Each morning I wish my world could restart 

And with each night the fear of tomorrow tempts my heart to depart  

This is just beyond me I say as my life seems to fall apart 

In my struggle to head start 

I played like others but not so smart 

I experienced betrayal instead of trust 

Thought I had a friend to lean on not knowing he was a dart 

But then I met a friend before it all fall apart 

 The Saviour with a loving heart 

Who gave my life a meaning and restart 

He took my burden and set me apart 

Yes! He is Jesus.
