The Weight

Updated: Dec 25, 2024

I am weary and far from home

But I’ve still so far to go

On this road I'm so alone

The weight is too much for me.


I often wonder why I’m here

All my faults are never clear

No one else is standing near

The guilt is too much for me.


So very long since I’ve seen light

gazed upon that lovely sight

How shall I remain upright?

The dark is too much for me.





They all see me so strong and tall

Never see the lies at all

Tempted by the sirens call

The sound is too much for me.


His call can never be ignored

Cannot make it on my own

Yet, I know, there’s something more

The love is too much for me.


Very little I understand

Hide myself and then pretend

Yearning for the promised land

The lie is too much for me.


Watching, waiting all night for me

hiding so I can't be seen

I’m too proud to turn around

No lie is too much for him.


So patiently he waits to see

Every truth I locked away

He would give the key to me

No love is too much for him.


Within my ear, the voice rings clear

A far-off call beckons near

I refuse to face my fear

No sound is too much for him.


I scarce recall that wondrous sight

Longing, burning for delight

My soul needs to see that light

No dark is too much for him.


Alone I carry all the blame

Still, he'd welcome me that day

Yet I cannot hide my shame

No guilt is too much for him.


Cannot carry this cross alone

I’m tired and far from home

His burden's easy and its light

No weight is too much for him.
