Lean Hard (#20)

Bible version used: KJV

Cast thy burden upon the Lord and He shall sustain thee. Psalm 55:22

Child of My love, Lean Hard,
And let Me feel the pressure of thy care;
I know thy burden, child, I shaped it;
Poised it in My own hand, made no proportion in its weight to thine unaided strength;
For even as I laid it on, I said,
I shall be near, and while he leans on Me,
This burden shall be Mine, not his;
So shall I keep My child within the circling arms of My own love.
Here lay it down, nor fear to impose it on a shoulder which upholds the government of worlds.
Yet closer come; Thou are not near enough;
I would embrace thy care so I might feel My child reposing on My breast.
Thou lovest Me? I knew it. Doubt not then; But, loving me, Lean Hard.

Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you. 1 Peter 5:7
