It's not that I want to,
Please try to understand,
I've tried all by myself,
I didn't want to need a hand!
Too succeed on my own merits,
Became my one enduring goal,
With every fall I'd kick myself,
Digging ever deeper in the hole.
The pain and lonliness loomed,
Still I'd struggle to be me,
The more I'd try, the worse I felt,
Could I ever get myself free?
Bear each other's burdens?
Paul told the Galatia church,
"Don't go it all alone," he said.
So you won't be stuck in a lurch.
But surely that's not meant for me!
What will people start to think?
Share my burden, my heart in hand,
They will know I'm about to sink!
Trusting in God's love to help me through,
He's placed friends in my life,
Believing God, means letting them in,
Letting them help to lessen my strife!
