This song means a lot to me because it reminds me of the time when I was backsliding. Not that that's a good thing, mind you, but it just encapsulates how I felt at that time perfectly- out of steam and overloaded. Sometime this year, I had to go for vocal auditions to make it into my church's vocal class(not that anyone didn't make it in) and I really hadn't prepared any song, but I managed to settle on this song because it means the most to me of all the christian songs i've heard. To me its content is pretty self-explanatory- sin is overcoming his life and he needs to get out of it by laying his burdens at God's feet. Which is what we forget at times when we try to face our burdens with the strength of a human being.
