Kirk Franklin's 'More Than I Can Bear' is a gospel song about enduring life's trials with faith in God's faithfulness. The lyrics reflect on going through fire and flood, yet remembering God's love and care. The central message is that God will never allow more than a person can handle, based on a biblical promise. The song encourages believers to trust, receive, and claim that promise in their own lives.

I've gone through the fire
And I've been through the flood
I've been broken into pieces
Seen lightnin' flashin' from above
But through it all I remember
That He loves me
And He cares
And He'll never put more on me
Than I can bear
I said
Never put more on me
No no
Never put more on me
Unh unh
Never put more on me
Never
His word said He won't
I believe it
I recieve it
I claim it
It's mine
No he'll never
Put more on me
Than I can bear
Can bear
