I cannot breath as life's worries lay on my chest
Trying to wrestle free but it feels like a ton of weight has come and laid to rest
It's heavy burdens on me.
As my head churns to devise a way from what seems to be the coming of my demise
I realize that I am truly not free
In these last moments of a life that feels like I have failed
I stammer to make sense of it all as I begin to pale
Everything I fight for - seems to wither away
Like roses cut from their roots - the lifeline in my veins begins to wilt today
Am I not focused enough
Have I not worked hard enough
The doubts in my mind take root
Feeling depleted my joy begins to get kicked by the boot
But like a light at the end of a tunnel
A thought flickers at the end of the funnel
Maybe that's the point
That my own deeds are dirty rags and my undoing
I look to the heavens and realize that I am but a mere speck in this Universe
To an infinite God that loves me infinitely though I am the crown jewel
It's not about what I do or what I accomplish
It's that I realize I am his prize and sit down and listen
To his wisdom and love that ultimately will transform me
To the person he desires and the person to come forth - see
See. It is his love and presence that changes a man
And with that new thought
New life - new thoughts - new plans
Suddenly the weight that was weighing me down
Has disappeared
And I realize that in him I am free
Free to breath.
