If the world from you withholds 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, leave it there

Chorus:
Leave it there, leave it there
Just take your burden to the Lord oh and leave it there
If you trust him through your doubt, he will surely bring you out
Take your burden to the Lord, 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.

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.

When your enemies assail
And your heart begins to fail,
Don't forget that God
In heaven answers prayer;
He will make a way for you
And will lead you safely through;
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.

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.

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.
