Fragile frame
Muscles strained
Blood runs thick
Thoughts won’t stick
Encumbrance of flesh
Disease of days
Befuddle the mind
Entangle the soul.
…
What weight of life
Futility of death
Detains our days
Distracts our nights.
Good God we pray
Help us this day.
…
Restore my life
Renew my mind.
…
Lift this burden,
Encumbrance of sin
For Christ’s sake,
Our only Lord
Bless my soul
Return my joy.
…
Lift this encumbrance
Return my joy.
…
Love lives eternal
For my soul unburdened
This encumbrance of flesh
Falls free at your Name.
…
Return my blessing
Lift this soul once more.
…
Jesus, Lord
Your love we adore
Save this soul
Embrace us as one
That we might praise You
‘Till our days are done.
…
That we might praise You
‘Till our days are done.
