HOPE IN GOD

Such a burden you carry
Scars as heavy as boulders
Thoughts deep as the ocean
What a burden you carry
Are you ready to lighten the load?
Why won't you speak up and speak out above the silence?
This weight feels heavy you say
Yet to others, lighter than air
Will you stop to lighten the load?
The weight of the world hanging heavy on your shoulders
The struggle, the struggle
You stop to wonder what others think instead
Battling between your authenticity and that cloak you wear
War within
Deterioration begins
Please stop and release the load
Looking Up
Catching a glimpse of heaven
A newly discovered hope
If I could just touch the hem of His garment, I shall be whole
What is freedom? you ask
And how much to lighten this load?
He says softly
With me it's free!
Simply trust and believe
Have faith in me
Follow my ways
And I'll take that load
Load?
What load?
He whispers... Exactly
And just like that, there is no load.
