I do not ask
That you know my pain
For my pain is my pain
To be soothed and anointed
By my God.
 
I do not ask
That you know my burden
For my burden is my burden
To be lifted and carried
By my savior.
 
I do not ask
That you walk in my shoes
For my shoes are my shoes
Used to walk a path
Chosen by my Lord.
 
I do not ask
That you choose my journey
For my journey is my journey
Inspired for my growth and service
By my Creator and Master
 
All I ask
Is that you allow me
To ease your pain
Share your burden
Mend your shoes
And give light to your journey
For that is my purpose
Delivered to my soul by Jesus.
