The Burden

The burden that's upon me is too heavy, Lord, to bear.
I know that You are with me and You love me and You care.

You fill me with Your strength and I know You're always there,
There to lift my heavy load and give me joy to spare

Is it any wonder that I love You so?
I know that You are with me no matter where I go.

"Do not worry about tomorrow;
tomorrow will take care of itself... "

Matthew 6:34
