Cast It into the Fire

The heavy load you've been carrying

Is weighing you down more and more,

Slowly draining the life out of you.

You've lost your way, so you're hurrying,

Still clinging to what you deplore.

Deep down you know what you need to do:

Take your burden to the mountain;
Cast it into the fire!

Doesn't matter where your heart's been.

Drop your cares and acquire

A clearer vision, a life brand new.

It's your decision; it's up to you.

The path is steep, and you want to quit.

You can't turn back; there's too much at steak

You'll reach the goal if you don't give up.

Disregard your doubts, and submit

To the task at hand—it's make or break:

The mountain waits; time to climb—look up!

Take your burden to the mountain;
Cast it into the fire!

Doesn't matter where your heart's been.

Drop your cares and acquire

A clearer vision, a life brand new.

It's your decision; it's up to you.

You think you'll repeat your mistakes.

It makes no difference; what's done is done.

The future beckons; you must move on.

You're not sure you've got what it takes

Just keep your eyes on the loving Son.

Forget the past; it's time to press on!

Take your burden to the mountain;
Cast it into the fire!

Doesn't matter where your heart's been.

Drop your cares and acquire

A clearer vision, a life brand new.

It's your decision; it's up to you.
