You Needn't Bear This Burden!

My past I now hand over to You,

My present as well, my future, too.

From beginningless before to endless will be,

You please take it all from me.

Why should I this yoke bear

When to do it You are there?

I don't need this load to undertake

When You’ll do it all for my sake.

To carry this cross I won’t dare,

You’ll take it on, so much You care.

You brought us here, so maybe it’s right

This burden You assume or make light.

Only a fool would say this to You:

“I’ll bear this burden, I really want to.

Thanks, but Your kind offer I’ll decline,

This burden I’ll carry, for it’s all mine.”
