I love the words to the hymn Lord I Would Follow Thee, and was touched again by the words to this song as we sang in church today:
(Listen to the song here.)
Savior, may I learn to love thee
Walk the path that thou hast shown
Pause to help and lift another
Finding strengths beyond my own
Savior, may I learn to love thee,
Lord, I would follow thee.
Who am I to judge another
When I walk imperfectly?
In the quiet heart is hidden
Sorrow that the eye can't see
Who am I to judge another?
Lord, I would follow thee
I would be my brother's keeper
I would learn the healer's art
To the wounded and the weary
I would show a gentle heart.
I would be my brother's keeper,
Lord, I would follow thee.
Savior, may I love my brother
As I know thou lovest me?
Find in thee my strength, my beacon
For thy servant I would be
Savior, may I love my brother?
Lord, I would follow thee.
The second verse especially spoke to me today, and I realized some anger in my own heart is causing me to make judgements I truly don't want to make. I also know that daily I go to the Lord with my own struggles, and the same loving sacrifice of the Savior that helps to carry my burdens also extends healing to others.
This clip is a Sunday family favorite around here, probably for a lot of reasons, but today I'm sharing because I love the peace that comes from turning burdens over to the Lord. Enjoy.

The first time I watched that video, I was in awe of the man. How I wish I were that kind of person ...
