I Was On My Way To Jesus With A Very Heavy Load,
My Burdens Made Me Weary, I Fainted On Life’s Road;
But I Called Upon My Savior For Help Along The Way,
Then The Clouds Above Burst Open, And This I Heard Him Say:
“My Child, Oh, How I Love You, For This I Died For Thee;
Your Load I’ll Gladly Carry, Just Come And Follow Me;
I Know This Load Was Heavy, And Caused A Lot Of Grief,
But By It You Were Strengthened, And Learned Of My Relief.”
I Cast My Cares On Jesus, And He Made My Fears To Cease,
He Drew Me To His Bosom, His Presence Gave Me Peace;
I Found The Consolation And Comfort Of His Love,
When I Put My Trust In Jesus, And Fixed My Eyes Above.
Our Gracious, Heavenly Father Has His Reasons Up Above
For Everything That Happens, In Which We Know Not Of;
So, We Can Safely Trust Him Who Winnoweth Our Way,
And For Good All Things Are Working To Those Who Will Obey.
“Come To Me, Ye Heavy Laden, I Will Give You Peace And Rest”;
This Promise He Has Given, Now Put It To The Test:
Bring To Christ Your Every Burden In Humble, Contrite Prayer;
Whether Sins, Or Grief, Or Sorrow, The Lord Will Meet You There.
