Lean on Me--I Am Here!

When your burdens 
Seem too much to bear,
And your heart breaks with gray despair.
 Harvest has been withheld,
Even though you have sowed a field of prayer.... 

Lean on Me--I Am Here!

In times when the flame of hope
Has become no more 
Than a slender wisp of smoke.
When you cry but I don't seem to hear,
Causing you to wonder if I truly care....

Lean on Me--I Am Here!

When angry words of stinging strife
Pierce through your being as a knife,
And angry storm clouds ominously gather
Blocking out all warmth and light,
While you long for day--but comes the night....

Lean on Me--I Am Here!

When your soul is tossed to and fro,
And potent winds of fierce adversity
From every direction blow.
As the constant bending
Threatens a breaking....

Lean on Me--I Am Here!

In your darkest hour,
When the race just seems too long,
Strength once abundant now is gone,
And arrows fly so thick
You simply can not go on....

Lean on Me--I Am Here!

When racked with pain 
Your soul cannot contain--
You want to quit,
As hope deferred 
Makes the heart sick....

Lean on Me--I Am Here!

"Come to Me all you who labour
And are heavy laden,
And I will give you rest."  Matt 11:28
