Hide me in the shadow of the cross

A friend of mine wrote this...

You comfort me when I am weak
You understand the mysteries of the deep
Your strength, it cannot be denied
In your shadow, I will hide

Hide me in the shadow of the cross
Where my sin and shame are counted lost
Where I find my peace when confusion surrounds
I was all but lost, and now I'm found

Slowly I rise to my feet
Lift my hands, raise an offering
I sing my praise to God above
A God of hope and a God of love

"Walk with me and work with me--watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly." --Matthew 11:29-30, The Message

No, nothing's wrong. Everything's fine. I'm just having one of those days where life just seems kinda heavy and I'm a bit worn out from trying to carry it and keep up with it, you know? I'll be ok.
