Verse 1

If the world from you withhold
Of its silver and its gold
And you have to get along
With meager fare
Just remember in His Word
How He feeds the little bird
Take your burden to the Lord
And leave it there

Verse 2

If your body suffers pain
And your health you can't regain
And your soul is
Almost sinking in despair
Jesus knows the pain you feel
He can save and He can heal
Take your burden to the Lord
And leave it there

Chorus

Leave it there
Leave it there
Take your burden to the Lord
And leave it there
So just trust and never doubt
He will surely bring you out
Take your burden to the Lord
And leave it there

Verse 3

When your enemies assail
And your heart begins to fail
Don't forget that God
In heaven answers prayer
He will make a way for you
And will lead you safely thro'
Take your burden to the Lord
And leave it there

Chorus

Leave it there
Leave it there
Take your burden to the Lord
And leave it there
So just trust and never doubt
He will surely bring you out
Take your burden to the Lord
And leave it there

Verse 4

When your youthful days are gone
And old age is stealing on
And your body bends 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

Chorus

Leave it there
Leave it there
Take your burden to the Lord
And leave it there
So just trust and never doubt
He will surely bring you out
Take your burden to the Lord
And leave it there

Tag

So just trust and never doubt
He will surely bring you out
Take your burden to the Lord
And leave it there
