A Home

If you’ve ever felt like you were just going through the motions of life, trying to make everyone think you were just fine, when inside you were dying, this song is for you. It reminds me that Jesus knows how I feel, that He’s been there already, and He has the solution: To give Him your burden, your struggle, your pain, and let Him carry it for you. In exchange, He gives you security, safety, and peace. What better cure could there be to the problems of life?

From Don Francisco’s 1981 album The Traveler, listen to his beautiful song, Give Your Heart A Home.

I hear your hollow laughter
Your sighs of secret pain
Pretending and inventing
Just to hide your shame
Plastic smiles and faces
Blinkin’ back the tears
Empty friends and places
All magnify your fears

If you’re tired and weary,
Weak and heavy laden
I can understand how
It feels to be alone
I will take your burden,
If you’ll let Me love you,
Wrap My arms around you,
Give your heart a home

It hurts to watch you struggle
And try so hard to win
But trade your precious birthright
For candy-coated sin
Wasting precious moments
Restless and confused
Building up defenses
For fear that you’ll be used

If you’re tired and weary,
Weak and heavy laden
I can understand how
It feels to be alone
I will take your burden,
If you’ll let Me love you,
Wrap My arms around you,
Give your heart a home

Take My yoke upon you
And walk here by My side
Let Me heal your heartaches,
Dry the tears you’ve cried
Never will I leave you,
Never turn away
Keep you through the darkness
Lead you through the day

If you’re tired and weary,
Weak and heavy laden
I can understand how
It feels to be alone
I will take your burden,
If you’ll let Me love you,
Wrap My arms around you,
Give your heart a home

Wrap My arms around you,
Give your heart a home
