Let go . . . and let God?

I took a burden to the Lord


To cast and leave it there.
I knelt and told Him of my plight,
An wrestled deep in prayer.

But rising up to go my way


I felt a deep despair,
For as I tried to trudge along,
My burden was still there!

Why didn’t you take my burden, Lord?


Oh, won’t you take it, please.
Again I asked the Lord for help,
His answering words were these:

My child, I want to help you out


I long to take your load,
I want to bear your burdens too
As you walk along life’s road.

But this you must remember,


This one thing you must know …
I cannot take your burden
Until you let it go.
