When Things Get Heavy

The cross at times seems hard to bear
Along life’s narrow road
Until we humbly kneel in prayer
And Jesus takes our load

Troubles may not result from shame
Nor hindrance through sin
But if or not in Jesus’ name
We seek The Lord to win

Through prayer we see and understand
How faith begins to grow
When Jesus lifts His mighty hand
And power’s seen to flow

Through love’s obedience knees will bend
Through love we seek God’s face
Through love, the precious time we spend
Will fill our hearts with grace

With grace, more love more faith and hope
More brand new songs to sing
Able to stand able to cope
Whatever life may bring

However sly the foe may fight
What evil web he’s spun
Praying for Jesus’ guiding Light
Will see the devil run

Consider Christ in all our ways
Consider Heaven’s force
Consider God throughout our days
Will guide our every course

Its good in faith our knee to bend
To seek God’s help above
Truly we learn and comprehend
The depth of Jesus’ love
