Bearing Burdens

By Appreciable Goodfaithpoet and Liba Dilla

The covenant people of the Lord,
Have promised to bear a common load.
As we learn from reading God's word,
We can lift in the way Jesus showed.

When you help to bear someone's pain,
You can feel weighed down by it too.
But we know that such efforts aren't vain,
For, our God is there to lift you.

Though by others you may be forgotten,
When it seems like you face trials alone,
You must rely on God's only begotten,
Your brother, who dwells by God's throne.
