the burdens falling from us

the burdens falling from us
dumping the heavy load
not what God has given
gathered from the world
laying down our stones
the burdens which we carry
leaving them for God, for others
only carrying our burden
the yoke which Christ offers
carrying only our load
that which God has given.
