Remind Me
This rugged road, this load I bear,
Let it always remind me
Of the path and the steps you took
On the road to Calvary.
When I tire and feel rundown,
Let me see that thorny crown
That they placed upon Your head.
The mingling of the blood and sweat,
The tears of pain You shed.
When I face trials that test my will,
And when I feel like I might crack,
Please help me Lord to recall
The lashes laid upon Your Back.
When I sit on "pins and needles"
Fretting or worried over a loss,
Let me see the nails, dear Lord,
That held You there on the cross.
When I hunger or have a need,
Help me to remember first
Before I cry, pray or plead,
Your simple words, "I thirst."
When slighted by man
And feeling shame or disgrace,
Let me recall how they had the gall,
Dear Lord, to spit upon Your face.
Those times I feel alone
And no one seems to care,
Let me hear Your voice, dear Lord,
That cried out in despair.
When I indulge in self-pity
Because woes have overtaken me,
Let Your words echo in my mind,
"Father, why hath thou forsaken me"
A man of sorrows, acquainted with grief
Crucified, as if a common thief,
For no sin of Your own.
Help me to remember, Lord,
Why it was You left Your throne.
Because you conquered death
I know I need not fear it,
As I recall Your final words,
"Into your hands I commend my spirit"
The next time that I am troubled
And overwhelmed by misery
Remind me...
That it is nothing when compared
To the fact that You died for me.
