O Lord, help me be a burden! My mother and my sister do their duty, But I can see impatience in their eyes. Help me, please, endure until my time. My mother and my sister do their duty, Loving me as righteousness demands. Help me, please, endure until my time, And midst my pain to live with ample grace. Loving me as righteousness demands, They teach me how to lean upon your love, And midst my pain to live with ample grace. O lift me up upon your unspent shoulders! They teach me how to lean upon your love, But I can see impatience in their eyes. O lift me up upon your unspent shoulders! O Lord, help me be a burden!
