LIFE’S ROAD
“I’m going to lay my burdens down one more time.
But this time I’ll go and leave them all behind.
No more worry and no more fears.
I have someone to carry my load, as I travel down life’s road.
I know that my God is there waiting, waiting with his arms open wide.
I know that my God is there waiting, just to welcome me inside.”
NLT
