We are Called to Carry

 

We are Called to Carry

We are called to carry*

Carry one another's burdens 

Carry our young ones over the sands the sands pass so swiftly through this hourglass , brief life

We are called 

We carry brothers, we carry sisters, We carry nieces, and nephews

Oh, and  carry moms and dad's and their hearts 

Siblings carry one another, the yesterdays, today, and tomorrows

We find encouragement and perseverance, 

and are moved to endure

To produce "hopeful living"

Lighten the load they carry, I plead 

Lighten the load I carry

"Come to me" we lean hard on one another 

"Come to me" we read

You tired, heavy and weighed down 

Come to me we hear , rest and listen -

 "I will not tell you to do things that are too difficult. I will not tell you to carry anything that is too heavy for you."*

Carry one another's burdens

**Matthew 11:28-30

EasyEnglish Bible

28 Come to me all of you who are tired. You are like people who have worked for a long time. You are like people who have carried heavy things. Come to me. If you do that, you will find a place to rest. 29 Do what I teach you to do. Listen to my message and learn from me what is true. I am very kind and I do not make myself important. I will help you. Then you will have peace in your mind. 30 I will not tell you to do things that are too difficult. I will not tell you to carry anything that is too heavy for you.’

***Galatians 6:2
