These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

He Will Take Care of You

The burdens of this daily world
are heavy to be borne.
Without some Helper, burdens hurled,
my life would end as worn.

I'm standing strong when bowed before
"the mighty Hand of God."
He'll lift me up as I implore
His Strength on shoulders broad.

"To cast my cares upon Him, all,"
it really seems a lot,
but since he cares for me to call,
He's all, that I have got.

He's all, that I have got, REJOICE!
He's all I'll ever need!
He's all I need, my greatest choice,
The One, Who full did bleed.

He bled for me upon the cross
to pay my Sin-Debt Full.
He "slept" a day, then tomb's rock tossed
to make me white as wool.

Oh, why should I, my burdens bear
when He, my Sin-Debt paid.
My needs are His great Joy to care
through pow'r so fully displayed.

The burdens of this daily world
are heavy to be borne.
This lovely Lord His strength unfurled,
that sunny Easter's Morn!

"6 Humble yourselves therefore
under the mighty hand of God,
that he may exalt you in due time:
7 casting all your care upon him;
for he careth for you."
(I Peter 5:6-7, AKJV)
