Lord, this load of love we bear
Paves life’s road with tears and prayer
Faith believes yet cannot see
When the end of hope will be
Need is not a curse; its pleas
Draw us humbly to our knees
God forbid our spirit craves
Ease as we become self-slaves
Greed is shallow; need a sky
Of occasion to rely
Not upon some self-schemed fraud
But with our whole, on God
