​

Too Big To Lift

​

 

Today I met a problem that was hard to turn around

A burden that I tried to lift instead of laying down

I could not seem to budge it though I tried with all my might

And chipping at it did not make any bit more light

 

As I sat there wondering... just what else I could do

In the corner of my eye I saw another problem too

This burden was not quite as big, or so at first I thought

Still all my tactics would not budge it one inch from it’s spot

 

I was feeling kind of hopeless, the way I sometimes do

When I see life through earthly eyes, not God’s eternal view

Forgetting one important step, in this thing called prayer

When you take your burden to the Lord, you have to leave it there

 

My burdens have not disappeared, but with them comes this gift

Burdens are for laying down and not for me to lift

God will make a way, He is the rock on which I lean

His is today, eternity, and all the in between

 

“For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation.

He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.”  

Psalm 62:1 (ESV)
