BEARING MY CROSS
Bearing my Cross
I bid all goodbye.
Without restrictions or instructions
To thee Oh Lord my Saviour I creed;
Thy Will I will.
Bearing my cross
All else in the rear view.
Your Yoke I tightly fasten
Your way Your truth;
The beginning and the end of my ambitions.

Like the lines:
Bearing my cross
All else in the rear view.
This reminds me of the lines from the song 'I have decided to follow Jesus':
The cross before me
the world behind me.....
No turning back, no turning back.

I like those lines as well.
those lines remind to not dwell on the past
and to keep looking forward with Christ's help.

Dear P,
I appreciated this poem very much. I really liked the prayerful tone and complete submission to God and the glory of his gifts. A beautiful reminder. H🌷

Once again your terrific writing leads me to think about songs:
Isley Brothers- “Livin’ The Life”, and UB40’s version of “Many Rivers To Cross”.
