We rise early
making big efforts every day
to make ends meet.
Still it seems
that we never get there
to that place
where you have no debts
except to love those in your way.
There are so many bills to pay,
There is so much work to do.
Still you call us in the night
to make our future bright
as you wisper words of love:
"Keep still and wait on me,"
"I am coming,"
"I will not delay."
"Strength will rise as you
learn to trust me more and more;"
"Lay down the burdens of your heart
here at my feet
where we can daily meet."
"My presence will go with you
and I will give you rest."
