When someone close betrays you, it doesn’t just hurt—it breaks something deep inside. It could make you wonder if it’s even safe to feel anymore.
That’s the place Kathy Tschida was in when she wrote Heaviness of My Hurt. She wasn’t writing from a calm place. She was in the middle of raw heartbreak. Someone she loved had turned their back on her, and the weight of that wound was crushing.
Like many of us do, she wanted to escape the pain, shut down, and just feel nothing. But God didn’t leave her there.
He led her to the Psalms. The Spirit-breathed words of David, she found something she didn’t expect—permission.
Permission to cry. To feel. To bring her grief before the Lord without filters or fancy words. Because David didn’t hold back, and God never rejected him.
So Kathy stopped holding back too. And Heaviness of My Hurt was born.
“No feeling is too much for Jesus.”
That’s not just a lyric—it’s a gospel truth.
Jesus was called a Man of Sorrows for a reason. He wept at funerals. He sweat blood under pressure. He cried out to the Father in agony. He understands pain—not from a distance, but from the inside.
And He didn’t just feel it—He carried it. On the cross, Jesus took every burden we couldn’t bear on our own. That includes the heartbreak, betrayal, and emotional weight we still wrestle with today.
This song is a reminder that the Savior who conquered death isn’t too holy to hold your pain. He welcomes it. He welcomes you.
“He hears what I have left unspoken, and won’t push me away.”
That’s grace. And that’s what makes Heaviness of My Hurt so powerful.

Why This Song Matters
Because sometimes, we don’t need another pep talk—we need the truth. And the truth is this:
Your emotions aren’t too much for God.
Your pain isn’t a problem He can’t fix.
Your story isn’t too broken for Him to heal.
If you’re hurting, don’t run away—run to Jesus.
Let this song remind you: Jesus isn’t waiting for you to clean yourself up before coming to Him. He died for you while you were still in your mess.
So play this song. Let it speak to those places you’ve been trying to ignore. And then do what David did—cry out to the One who already knows.
He won’t turn you away. He never has.
Stream it. Share it. Let someone else know they’re not alone.
Lyrics
VERSE 1
I want to get lost in distractions
To not feel anything
I don’t want to deal with emotion
There’s too much pain
But Jesus knows my harmful patterns
Loves me anyway
Hears what I have left unspoken
And won’t push me away
CHORUS
No feeling is too much for Jesus
My hurting is what came to heal
I will share it all with Jesus
Knowing He can hold the weight of the world
Even the heaviness of my hurt
VERSE 2
The lump in my throat keeps me silent
Or I might scream from the grief
It’s safer to live on this island
Than start to weep
But Jesus comes along beside me
And holds me when I cry
He tells me it’s okay to feel
He’s got my best in mind
CHORUS
No feeling is too much for Jesus
My hurting is what came to heal
I will share it all with Jesus
Knowing He can hold the weight of the world
Even the heaviness of my hurt
BRIDGE
I’m tired of trying to escape
I will be brave today
And pray unfiltered prayers to Him
Knowing He’ll give grace
Cause…
CHORUS
No feeling is too much for Jesus
My hurting is what came to heal
I will share it all with Jesus
Knowing He can hold the weight of the world
Even the heaviness of my hurt
TAG
Knowing He can hold the weight of the world
Even the heaviness of my hurt
