Usually when there's something going on with me, you know -- inside my head -- I can sit down, write it out, write a poem, something to clear it away. But sometimes it doesn't leave that easily. Sometimes it takes something outside of myself. I pray or read a scripture from the Bible or hear a song and somehow I gain perspective. Then slowly I will creap out from underneath the load I've been carrying and I'm free.
Why does it always take me so long to remember my help comes from the Lord? Why do I always think I can just figure everything out all by myself? Like I'm Super Woman or something. Maybe one of these days when the clouds start to form above my head, I'll learn to run to my Shelter instead of standing there feeling sorry for myself.
Free
by Shawn McDonald
I feel like the weight of the world is
Crashing down on me and some how I just don’t believe
This how it is suppose to be
All this expectation on the way I’m suppose to live
Becomes my minds distraction with nothing left to give
You said Your burden is light and Your load is no more
You said Your ways are right and in You I will soar
I want to be free, free to dance and free to sing
Free to live and learn and free oh, free to be me
I feel like my heart is being beat down into the ground,
In You I’m longing for some peace to be found
I know the heaviness that’s making me cold
Is stealing my youthful soul and making me old
You said Your burden is light and Your load is no more
You said Your ways are right and in You I will soar
I want to be free, free to dance and free to sing
Free to live and learn and free oh, free to be me
