Burden

I felt a burden on my back, heavy in its place
Until You led me to the cross, let me see Your grace
I felt it drop then turned to watch it roll down that hill
And leapt with joy as Your peace and hope became my fill
Freed from sin I turned my back upon the place it rolled
Fixed my eyes upon the cross where my life would unfold
Though this path is hard to follow; few do find its way
I know it leads to celestial joys every passing day.

~ Inspired by John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress

Thanks to all who prayed for our trip in CO. It far exceeded expectations!
