carry my burden

when I call myself a loner
will you come and sit with me
if I feel out in the cold
will you be the bridge between
when I say my heart's uncaring,
will you shed your tears for me
when my days feel dark and despairing
share the joy and grace you see

if the grace of Christ has changed you,
will you let it flow to me
if you know the truths of Jesus,
please tell me what they mean
will you act the always faithful love
of the pursuing Friend
will you sing the song of hope to me
until I can sing again

if I choose to be rebellious
you've got to tell it like it is
be gentle and unyielding
don't give up on me just yet
if I tell you of the horror,
don't pretend you understand
be patient, walk beside me
if I can't see, take my hand

if the grace of Christ has changed you,
will you let it flow to me
if you know the truths of Jesus,
please tell me what they mean
will you act the always faithful love
of the pursuing Friend
will you sing the song of hope to me
until I can sing again

Do you have a moment, sir; could you tell me a story? I can see at least one held captive in your eye If you have a moment, ma'am, I'd like to hear a little of the storms that traced the lines where my cheek is still smooth Tell me, sir, of a day that one white hair stands for and most of all I want to know what kept that twinkle in your eye Please tell me, ma'am, how you're still smiling though you've known pain and heartbreak so much longer than I have Was it easier to let go the tenth time?
