Dawn & Dusk

I dragged my burdens
Up the wicked slope
Bitter words sprouting
Because I could not cope

I ignored the offer of help
Though my knuckles were white
My bones cracking like whips
My muscles cramping in spite

Such foolishness
To plough on alone
When You are there
To be my cornerstone

I let go of the reins
And put my trust in You
When the world becomes too much
This is what I choose to do

When the burden is too heavy
I will let it pull me to the floor
Down to my knees
In prayer to my Lord
