What is this load that you carry?
I see you are weary –
Life weighs you down
What is this burden you bear?
You’ve no one to share
Your unspoken prayers, your secret fears
Your hidden tears
What is this sorrow that lies
Behind downcast eyes
Would you be surprised to realize
That someone has seen
And heard
And known
Your heart?
Before God your heart is laid bare
And this I declare
That before the foundations of the world
He knew –
Proclaimed that you would need a Savior
And He alone could provide
He alone would decide
To suffer, to die – and yet to rise
Because you were His pearl of great price
Do you not know? Have you not heard?
It is finished
Your debt paid in full
It is finished
Your sins are no more
It is finished
Lay that burden down
Wear His joy for your crown
It is finished
Your Savior has come
The only One
Who owns the key
Who is the Door
To freedom
