Burdened

by Marijo Phelps  
3/16/2009 / Poetry

Lord, I came to You today
Laden with a basket of heavy tears


Pulling me apart
Weighting me with sorrow


And as we talked
You hugged me warm
In Your Sonshine


As my Jesus smiled
Each tear became a rainbow
With the promise of Your peace.

Soon You lifted me up to You
Your calmness quieted my mind
And You drew me with Your strength


How long would I have burdened
If I'd chosen not to come?


I was so close to being crushed
By trying to carry my own heaviness


Thank You beyond words, my Jesus
For drawing me into Your arms once again.
