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 birds
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

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

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

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
