**I see a person bending  
Beneath a heavy load  
So many “whys” and “wherefores”  
Are in that burden stowed  
Each day the weight is growing  
The back more crooked bent  
Despairing and despondent  
The heart within is rent\!**

**But outstretched hands are waiting  
Within each laden day  
A whispering voice is pleading  
Upon his darkened way  
Give up your burden dear one  
Just hand it o’er to Me  
Then you can walk uprightly  
My way more clearly see\!**

Oh **change the “whys” and “wherefores”  
And let God’s will be done  
For child, when they are lifted  
‘Tis half the battle won  
The load is so much lighter  
The path more smooth ahead  
When God doth bear beside you  
That crushing load of lead\!**
