Story Behind The Song
As a sufferer of chronic pain due to a neck and spinal injury, the realization hit me: you may never have a pain free moment again in your life. Then I realized this was my "thorn in the side" and its effect was to keep me close and dependent on the healing and loving grace of Jesus. This gave me all the peace and strength I needed to keep on daily with physical therapy and realizing my life now had limitations.

Lyrics
When you wake up in the morning
Wipe the tears out of your eyes
Did you ever think that tomorrow could be
A complete and total surprise?
Break down and cry
Break right down and cry
When the load is so heavy
You are in His lovin’ arms once again!
When you wake up in the morning
And you find you are all alone
Why’d you ever think that tomorrow would be
Any different than today?
Break down and cry
Break right down and cry
When the weight is too heavy
You are in His lovin’ arms once again!
In the evening as you lay down
And the light begins to fade
All at once you see quite clearly
The full extent of your pain
Break down and cry
Break right down and cry
When the world is so heavy
You are in His lovin’ arms once again!
Finally it is sunset
And the music fills the air
As the angels gather ‘round you
You are in His everlasting care!
Break down and cry
Break right down and cry
When the load is so heavy
You are in His lovin’ arms once again!
