—Charles Albert Tindley
Refrain:
Leave it there, oh leave it there,
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there;
If you will trust and never doubt, He will surely bring you out—
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
If the world from you withhold of its silver and its gold,
And you have to get along with meager fare,
Just remember, in God's Word, how He feeds the little bird—
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
If your body suffers pain and your health you can't regain,
And your soul is almost sinking in despair,
Jesus knews the pain you feel, He can save and He can heal—
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
Refrain
If your enemies assails and your heart begins to fail,
Don't forget that God in Heaven will answers prayer;
He will make a way for you He will lead you safely through—
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
Now if your youthful days are gone and old age is 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.
Refrain
Now if your mother leaves you here, grief and sorrow you must bear
And you feel that all the friends you have are gone
But whenever you feel alone Jesus will take you in His arms
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
