A Meeting with Him and him

I was sitting in church today;

My heavy burden I did carry.

He told that there is a better way--

Release that load here to bury.

But I’m used to carrying it alone,

I want my load on my back to remain.

What could I do except maybe to loan.

Give Me that load to take away the drain.

I don’t know.  I’m so used to wearing

That weight without would be so light.

Give Me that load that you’ve been bearing,

And your future will be so much more bright.

I’ll give it to You for a season,

But remember I want it back.

Guilt for not carrying it--that is the reason.

That load without--I would not know how to act.

The vision I saw was one of him--it’s him!

The one I barely knew, but miss him still.

An arm around me he placed to go meet Him.

Release this burden -- it’s His will.

That embrace felt so warm, so real!

It was usually Him, but now it was Him and him.

I wanted it to stay, but with life I must deal.

Keep your eyes closed so you can see them.

Let go of the hurt -- it’s time you really live.

Carry this no more -- put it on Him, my Father.

Leave it there this time after you give.

Without the hurt I can remember him, my father.
