A few lines from "I Lay My Burdens At Thy Feet":

"I come to Thee with heavy heart

To lay my burdens at Thy feet

And ask you to renew my soul

My Savior...Lord...My Prince of Peace

My heart is broken and sorrow-filled

At the loss of one I loved

'Tis more than I can bear alone

Without Your help from up above

For the path I thought my life would travel

Has now changed...and the future is obscure

It's too dim ahead and I'm too weak right now

To foresee how I'll possibly endure

Still I'm reminded of Your promise

That if I'll lay my burdens at Thy feet

That you will give me both strength and rest

As I daily commune with Thee

For your power has no limits

Thy compassion knows no end ..."
