Burdened

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.


Crisis

How can I make sense
When tears flood my logic
And I reach out
But there's no one there
Only the hollow ringing
Of an empty phone at my ear

Why do I have to bottom out
Before I pour out my heart
To You, My Jesus?


And You were there
Arms waiting open
All the While.
