Take Your Burden to the Lord and Leave It There

        Leave it there, oh, leave it there
        Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there
        If you would trust Him and never doubt
            He will surely bring you out
        Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there

    Ah, if the world from you withhold
        of its silver and its gold
    And you'll have to get along with meager fare
    Just remember in God's words how He fed those little birds
    Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there 

    Now, if your body suffers pain and your health you can't regain
    And you soul is almost sinkin' in despair
    Jesus knew the pain you feel
        He can save and He can heal
    Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there

    Don't you forget that God in heaven will answer prayer
    He will make a way for you, He will guide you safely through
    Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there 

    Now, if your useful days are gone and old age in stealing on
    And your body sinks beneath the weight of care
    Jesus will never leave you then, He'll go with you to the end
    Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there

    Now, if you'r mother leaves you here 
        grief and sorrow you must bear
    And you feel that all the friend you have is gone
    But whenever you feel alone, Jesus will take you in His arms
    Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there
