Will You Bear a Little More?

You've borne the world's sin;
Will you bear a little more?
You dined with the heathen;
Will you set a place for me?

You endured humanity's immorality;
Will you reckon with my misdeeds?
You forgave your abusers;
Will you forgive my abuses?

You took a friend who denied your acquaintance;
Will you take me back too?
You searched the streets for lost souls;
Will you pursue one more stray?

They abandoned while you embraced.
They betrayed when you befriended.
They cursed when you blessed.
They took when you gave.

You've borne the world on your shoulders;
Is there room for one more?  


Isaiah 53
