The Burden We All Bear · 9 May 2026
The burden that we all must bear
Is not an onus that should own us
Indeed the burden that we bear
In this life should be a bonus.
For the burden that we all share
Is that God’s image we do bear
And for each other we should care
We should love each other if we dare.
Instead we think we are not free
If we step into the Christian yoke
But when we surrender all to Thee
We end up free like Jesus spoke.
The freedom that we all can share
Lies in the burden that we bear
Because for each other we must care
Because God’s image each of us bear.
