VERSE 1:
IF THE WORLD FROM YOU WITHHOLDS
ALL 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.
CHORUS :
LEAVE IT THERE LEAVE IT THERE
TAKE YOUR BURDEN TO THE LORD
AND LEAVE IT THERE
IF YOU TRUST AND NEVER DOUBT,
HE WILL SURELY BRING YOU OUT
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.
REPEAT CHORUS :
