When all was dark and I was tired,
Decision pressured me to cry;
Tears drowned the pain inside
And buried the reason why.
Then came the day the pain broke loose,
And pressures swept away.
My reasons knelt at Calvary’s Cross;
Christ washed self-will away.
I rested at the Throne of Grace,
And cried for utter joy.
My heart found healing in Christ’s Face
And freedom in His employ.
Christ nailed my will to Calvary’s Cross
And crucified my pain.
How senseless was my willful dross
Before surrender came.
My feet now rest on solid rock,
The gravestone rolled away.
I carry on my back the cross
Of Jesus’ glorious Name!
