Lean Hard
Child of my love, lean hard,
And let Me feel the pressure of thy care.
I know thy burden, for I fashioned it—
Poised it in My own hand, and made its weight
Precisely that which I saw best for thee.
And when I placed it on thy shrinking form,
I said, “I shall be near, and while thou leanest
On Me, this burden shall be Mine, not thine.”
So shall I keep within My circling arms
The child of my own love; here lay it down,
Nor fear to worry Him who made, upholds,
And guides the universe. Yet closer come;
Thou art not near enough. Thy care, thyself,
Lay both on Me, that I may feel My child
Reposing on My heart. Thou lovest Me?
I doubt it not: then, loving Me, LEAN HARD.”

On Me, this burden shall be Mine, not thine.”

Nor fear to worry Him who made, upholds,
And guides the universe. Yet closer come;

-The Christian
Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you.
He will not
permit the godly to slip and fall.
