I
SOMETIMES I'M DISCOURAGED AND TROUBLED IN SOUL,
BUT THERE IS A SECRET PLACE I CAN GO.
I JUST STEAL AWAY IN JESUS AND THAT'S WHERE I'LL STAY.
THEN BURDENS ARE LIFTED AWAY.
CHORUS
BURDENS ARE LIFTED AWAY,
WHEN JESUS HEARS SOMEBODY PRAY.
OH LORD I NEED HELP DOWN BELOW LEST I STRAY.
THEN BURDENS ARE LIFTED AWAY.
II
HIS EYES SEE THE STORMCLOUDS AND THE BILLOWS THAT ROLL
YES HIS EARS EVER LISTEN FOR THE CRY FROM BELOW.
THEN HE WHISPERS PEACE BE STILL NOW AND THE WINDS MUST OBEY.
THEN BURDENS ARE LIFTED AWAY.
