Burden Driven!

A heaviness of heart for “others”
A deep concern
A disturbing uneasiness
A pain in your conscience
A continual grief

He knows the extreme danger that they are in.
He knows that he can do something to prevent it!

Forgive of my indifference to dying souls
Cleanse my heart from selfish pride
Break my heart with what breaks yours!
Let my life be driven by this burden
