[chorus]
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 would surely bring you out
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there
Now, 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
[chorus]
If your enemy a**ails and our heart begin to fail
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 you're 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
[chorus]
Now, if you're mother leaves you here
grief and sorrow you must bear
And you feel that all the friends 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
[chorus]
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 would surely bring you out
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there
Now, 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
[chorus]
If your enemy a**ails and our heart begin to fail
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 you're 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
[chorus]
Now, if you're mother leaves you here
grief and sorrow you must bear
And you feel that all the friends 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
