The road is so rough dear Lord
And I am here all alone.
I don’t know how I will walk
To the end with my burden
Pressing on me so.
Yes, I remember, said He,
I walked it myself long ago.
The cross was heavy
But I carried it
Because some burdens
Are meant to be carried alone.

I was tempted my burdens
To lay to Your charge;
I considered them acutely unfair.
Then you opened my heart
And showed me Your godly task,
Beyond human capacity to bear.
Knowing where you had gone
I would never have to go,
I sorrowed and sought
My arrogance to bury;
In humility I assent,
Your mortal burden,
So valiant, so holy,
I would never in this life
Have to carry.
