Bearing down
A weight too heavy to lift
A burden too great to carry
My eyes catch the burden lifter
The cross bearer
I see myself
In Him
On the cross
Lifted up
Free
Blood free
Sin free
No longer entangled
Wrapped around Him
Like a vine around a tree
Entwined
All the knots inside
Untangled
The jagged edges cut clean
Resurrection sharp
New life deep
Heaven bound
These earthly troubles but a blink
Glory hope shines
Revealing
How fleeting my life is
In light of eternity.
