Crushed I am by my burdens

     I stagger beneath the load

every step too hard to take

     each one feels to be my last

others carry far more than I

     somehow they do go on

there must be a way for me

     to carry more than I do

long have I tried so hard

     tried so many ways

everything that I have tried

     never has been enough

I collapsed onto my knees

     I cannot take another step

there is no way to go on

     I feel my head hang down

I close my eyes and I speak

     unto the one above

tell him that I cannot go on

     I do not have the strength

He says he bore the greatest load

     he carried far more than I

and sets a rock upon my load

     and helps me to my feet

His hand in mine he helps me up

     he says he'll help me grow

that with his help I can do

     everything that I must

and I do take another step

     as I hold his hand in mine

and with his help I do go on

     with his help I can
