She'll Give Jesus Her Cares

Sometimes a mother is faced with a burden
that seems too heavy to bear;
But then the Saviour speaks lovingly to her,
"Come,  cast on Me all your care."

She knows;  She knows His love;
He understands when there's no one there;
Jesus will give her His courage and comfort--
Yes, she'll give Jesus her cares.

Sometimes a mother is lonely and frightened;
No one to comfort and guide;
Then in the tempest she hears Jesus whisper,
"Peace, child, I'm here by your side."

She knows;  She knows His love;
He understands when there's no one there;
Jesus will give her His courage and comfort--
Yes, she'll give Jesus her cares.

Come to Me, 
all you who are weary and burdened, 
and I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you 
and learn from Me,
for I am gentle and humble in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls.
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
Matthew 11:28-30 NIV Bible

The above poem can be sung to the tune
of "Softly and Tenderly Jesus Is Calling."

It was written to honor Nancy, a widow, who cared for her grown daughter Karen with a mother's love and devotion.  Karen had the mentality of about a 3-year-old. There are some mothers like Nancy whose close walk with God is the only explanation for their joy in motherhood. May God richly bless every "Nancy" in this world.
