Too Heavy for Any of Us

 

Blessed be the Lord,

who daily bears us up.

God is our salvation.

             Psalm 68. 19

(God guides, provides,

sustains, and holds us tight,

through many dangers,

toils and snares

    --far more than we know.

God daily bears with us,

    lifts us up,

    carries us through,

and walks with us,

   even in this difficulty,

   even in this impossible situation,

   even in our hard relationships.

God reveals a new way through,

     starting with our hearts,

             new every morning.

A "good day" does not happen.

Look to see how God

    bears us up.

Even in the tough stuff, 

        or the ordinary,

  God does the heavy lifting.)

O LORD,

May You be blessed

    by what we do and say,

even in our turmoils

      and what looks like defeat.

You daily bear us up.

Help us to never forget

   Your Presence with us.

We are not our own.

We are not on our own.

Hold us tight.

Help us to bind ourselves

                to You.

You have brought us

           safe thus far,

and You will lead us home.

        (Amazing Grace, 1772)
