We bog ourselves down with the baggage we carry.
Pain turns numb at the length we tarry.
Joyfully we walk the narrow road,
Until we become discouraged by our load.
“Drop it. Drop it. Drop it.” He asks.
“You don’t have to carry alone this daunting task.”
“Drop it at My feet,”
“Take a seat”
“Drink from My well.”
“Shed that outer shell.”
We shed an outer shell.
Redefining more our citadel.
Releasing a little more,
We allow Him to partially restore.
Merrily we walk along,
Singing a joyful song.
People along the path stopped to take a break
Surprise and shock,
“Come on! Walk with me!” you say
“No, we need a break. The road is too narrow.”
Saddened by the images in your head of those behind,
The baggage cuts in a little deeper.
“Drop it. Drop it. Drop it” He asks.
“You don’t have to carry alone this daunting task.”
The end of our baggage is the hardest,
For it has us harnessed
To the past of who we used to be.
We just can’t see,
The changed He wants us to be.
Nearing the end, discouraged and downtrodden.
The joy at the beginning long forgotten.
What could have made this easier?
How could I have stayed eager?
“Drop it. Drop it. Drop it.” He asks.
“You don’t have to carry alone this daunting task.”
“Drop it at My feet.”
“Take a seat.”
“Drink from My well.”
“Shed that outer shell.”
“But isn’t it too late,” you whisper.
“My shoulders are blistered,”
Interrupted by the response,
“It’s never too late with Me.” said with nonchalance.
“Look around you.”
“See the others that have pushed through.”
You look, bags are laid out on the bare ground
The image before you creates a campground.
“This is not the end. It’s only the beginning.”
“Drop it. Drop it. Drop it.” He asks.
“You don’t have to carry alone this daunting task.”
“Drop it at My feet.”
“Take a seat.”
“Drink from My well.”
“Shed that outer shell.”
“Join me on this new journey,”
Walking forward toward Him,
You hear the cheers from an army,
Your fellow Christians,
Renewing your ambition.
