Take Your Burden To The Lord – Words & Music by Charles A. Tindley

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

If the world from you withholds all its silver and its gold

And you 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 your soul is almost sinkin’ in despair

Oh, He knows the pain you feel, He can save and He can heal

Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there

If your enemy assails and your heart begins to fail

Don’t 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

If you’re useful days are gone, and old age in stealing on

And your body sinks beneath the weight of care

He 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’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, He will take you in His arms

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 would surely bring you out

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

Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there
