When This Burden Is Lifted From Me

©Dan Sullivan 2014

Like a leaf I am blown
Back and forth, to and fro
Helplessly adrift on the breeze
But Angels will rejoice 
And they’ll sing in one voice
When this burden is lifted from me 

I am trapped in this life
Between darkness and light
Where temptation won’t let me be
But Angels will rejoice
And they’ll sing in one voice
When this burden is lifted from me

In this world I stumble and fall into sin
I repent then I fall once again
Sometimes I fall to my knees in prayer
Sometimes my weakness is too much to bear

I am trapped in this life
Between darkness and light
Where temptation won’t let me be
But Angels will rejoice
And they’ll sing in one voice
When this burden is lifted from me
