Why are you weary and thus, heavy laden
When Jesus has promised to carry your burden?
Why are you saddened and living in sorrow
when Jesus has promised a better tomorrow?
Why are you fearful and walking in darkness
When Jesus is light and in Him you’ll not wander?
Why are you hungry and needy and thirsty
When He provides water and bread, everlasting?
Bring Him your burdens. Believe in His goodness.
Come, walk in His light and you’ll feast in His mercies.
For His Word has promised to those that’ll trust Him
That all things work out for the good of His children.
Sing out your praises for He is trustworthy!
The Lord is your guide-light. Rejoice in your journey!

The reason why we are weary is we just don't choose to fully belive God's wonderful promises!
