Casting All Your Care Upon God, For He Careth For You

CASTING ALL YOUR CARE UPON GOD,
FOR HE CARETH FOR YOU.

1 Peter 5:7

Come heavy souls, oppressed that are,
With doubt, and fears, and carking care.
Lay all your burdens down and see
Where’s one that carried once a tree
Upon his back, and which is more,
A heavier weight, your sins he bore.
Think then how easily he can
Your sorrows bear that’s God and Man;
Think too how willing he’s to take
Your care on him, who for your sake
Sweat bloody drops, prayed, tasted, cried,
Was bound, scourged, mocked, and crucified.
He that so much for you did do,
Will yet do more, and care for you.


By William Washbourne

This is truly the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, as prophesied in the Old Testament. As great as your spiritual burdens may seem, Jesus took those burdens that we may be free and reconciled with God.
