This Basket of Burdens
by Debra Whitt
(Minneapolis, MN USA)
My Basket of burdens
Is filled with the grief of my loss
It is so heavy to carry
Although this road I must cross
This pathway through life
Feels unbearable at times
And I don't have the strength
For this mountain I climb
The Basket's filled with sorrow
Oh, how I miss my love
At first,
It's impossible to carry,
Where is my help from above?
It's draining my strength
I can't do anymore
This pain goes so deep
Right down to my core
As I carry this Basket
I'll learn to manage the weight
Each step of the way
Will become easier they say
But how do they know,
Have they been here before?
If so, where's their Basket
They're responsible for?
This Basket of burdens
You can't see and can't touch
I carry it inside me
This pain is too much
Patience is needed to carry
This loss that I feel
A shoulder to lean on
So, someday I will heal
God sent my family
My friends and spirits unknown
So, I won't carry this Basket
For-ever alone
Someday,
I'll lay down my Basket
With burdens? no more
My pain will be gone
When I cross through that door
Then I'll know reason
For my Basket of Burdens
How God showed me His grace
When I couldn't cope with the season
Love and support that He gave
When His presence felt unknown
He was with me each step
When I felt so alone
Is filled with the grief of my loss
It is so heavy to carry
Although this road I must cross
This pathway through life
Feels unbearable at times
And I don't have the strength
For this mountain I climb
The Basket's filled with sorrow
Oh, how I miss my love
At first,
It's impossible to carry,
Where is my help from above?
It's draining my strength
I can't do anymore
This pain goes so deep
Right down to my core
As I carry this Basket
I'll learn to manage the weight
Each step of the way
Will become easier they say
But how do they know,
Have they been here before?
If so, where's their Basket
They're responsible for?
This Basket of burdens
You can't see and can't touch
I carry it inside me
This pain is too much
Patience is needed to carry
This loss that I feel

So, someday I will heal

My friends and spirits unknown
So, I won't carry this Basket

When His presence felt unknown
He was with me each step
When I felt so alone
