Shifted and Lifted
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu
Heaviness upon me
As I look around to see
The unwillingness of many
And the turning away from Thee
O I am burdened
And heavy laden
The tears flow
And downcast grow
But in an instant
Heaviness flee to a distant
For I am set free
As I set my eyes on Thee
My mind to Thee shifted
And my spirit in Thee lifted
Your Wisdom and Grace abounded
And the Victory in You granted!
I shall continue to labor
Even in toil and pain
Yet the struggle in Your favor
Is never in vain
