real story: small soldier

By RTF Editor B.J. Hamrick

My child, you were never meant to bear
This burden on your shoulders
You’re much too small you lack the strength
You’re such a tiny soldier
And all this time you’ve marched along
Crying “I’m strong too”
When I was here just waiting
To carry this cross for you
I’ve seen your tears; I’ve heard your prayers
I’ve been here all along
So now just place your splintered cross
Against My back — I’m strong
Now see My tears; now hear My prayers
My child, they’re all for you
For I have come to do the work
That only I can do
-Jesus
