i’m kneeling low

bent underneath

a load i cannot bear

a broken heart

eyes red with tears

Your voice i long to hear

what lesson’s here

this valley low

the pain i long to flee?

how can i know

Your narrow way

to finally be free?

i lift my eyes

and see the sticks

it’s foolishness to some

no lesson here

of guarding self

making my heart be numb

but in that cross

a message true

giving more than i can

will i still love

if none respond?

through me that is His plan
