If you are one of those who is "weary and heavy laden", there is a Haven of Rest when you lean on Jesus.
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Leaning on Jesus means we place ourselves at His disposal and allow Him to be the absolute Lord and ruler of our lives.
When we lean on Jesus we wait for Him, and He gives us strength for our journey.
Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Learning to lean.

“The joy I cant explain filled my soul. — The day I made Jesus my king. — His Blessed Holy Spirit is leading my way, — He's teaching and I'm learning to lean.
Chorus
“Learning to lean, — Learning to lean, — I'm learning to lean on Jesus. —. Finding more power than I've ever dreamed, — I'm learning to lean on Jesus.
“Sad broken hearted, at an alter I knelt. — I found peace that was so serene. — And all that He asks is a child like trust, — And a heart that is learning to lean.
“There's a glorious victory, each day now for me. — I've found peace so serene. — He helps me with each task, If I'll only ask. — Everyday now I'm learning to lean.”
