The Answer #2

Lord, I come to You this morning
With a heart that's loaded down.
By such a heavy pile of needs and fears.
There are questions I can't answer,
There are problems I must solve.
And I'm afraid of what is coming next.

I know all that you are feeling
For I walked this world before you.
I'm the answer to your questions.
I'm your peace.
I can see tomorrow
And I know the way to go.
Are you looking at the problem
Or at Me?

Lord I do not understand it!
Why did things turn out this way?
When I know You could have made it
Turn out right!
Did you even hear me
When my soul cried out to You?
When my heart was nearly breaking
Where were You?

Yes I heard you, My beloved.
My heart was aching, too.
And I was there beside you all the time.
But the thing that you were asking
Would not be the best for you.
There are times a loving father
Must say "no."
Believe Me I am working
On your life to prosper you.
Are you looking for the answer
Or for Me?

Lord, sometimes it overwhelms me.
There's so much I have to do
And I don't even know where
To begin.
For the needs do not stop coming!
It is more than I can bear!
And all that I must carry
Bows me down.

That's why I'm your burden bearer.
Let Me take it, let it go.
And take My yoke upon youl
It is light.
For I am a gentle Master
And the burden I will give you
Will not be a weight upon you,
It is such a weight as wings are
To a bird.
Are you looking at your budens?
Or at Me?
