Take Your Burden to the Lord and Leave It There Songtext
von Washington Phillips

Leave it there, oh leave it there
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there
If you will trust Him and never doubt, He will surely bring you out
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there

Now if the world from you withhold of its silver and its gold
And you′ll have to get along with meagers fare
Just remember in God's words, how he fed those little birds
Take your burden to the Lord, leave it there

Now if your body suffers pain and your health you can′t regain
And your soul is almost sinking in despair
Jesus knew the pain you feel, He can save and He can heal
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there

Oh leave it there, oh leave it there
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there
If you'll trust Him and never doubt, He will surely bring you out
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there


If your enemy assails and your heart begin to fail
Don't you forget that God in Heaven will answer prayer
He will make a way for you, He will guide 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
Jesus will never leave you then, He′ll go with you to the end
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there

Leave it there, oh leave it there
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there
If you trust Him, never doubt, He will surely bring you out
Take your burden to the Lord, leave it there

Now if your mother leaves you here, grief and sorrow you must bear
And you feel that all the friend you have is gone
But whenever you feel alone, Jesus will take you in His arms
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there

Oh leave it there, oh leave it there
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there
If you trust Him, never doubt, He will surely bring you out
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there
