Burdens Lifted

 

 

 

Life’s burdens that we carry

On our shoulders every day,

Can get so very heavy,

We wish they’d go away.

We wonder how we’ll make it

With such a heavy load.

We wish it would be lifted,

As we travel down life’s road.

 

Oh, wouldn’t it be wonderful

As we walk on life’s road,

If there were only someone else

To carry our big load?

To shoulder all our burdens

So we could walk on free

Of heavy weights we carry--

Loads of responsibility.

 

Well, here’s some news that you should hear;

Good news, you soon will see.

There is Someone who’s willing to

Take on your loads for free.

But, oh, you must be willing

To on His shoulders place,

All of your cares and burdens;

And let Him run your race.

 

It’s Jesus Christ I’m speaking of;

He is the Lord, you know.

The government shall be on Him;

In scripture it says so.

And on His shoulders you can place

All of your cares today,

And He will carry them for you.

Just ask Him when you pray.

 

But yet it is so hard for us

To on Christ’s shoulders thrust,

All of our cares and worries;

And in Him put our trust.

Our heavy loads, we’ve always carried

By ourselves, you see.

"It’s hard," you say, "to just believe

He’d carry them FOR me."

 

When Christ was dying on the cross,

He took our load of sin.

He paid sin’s price for one and all;

A victory He did win.

So don’t be unbelieving;

Believe it’s really true,

That He has shouldered all your sins.

He’s done all that for you.

 

There is just one main thing in life

That He asks you to do,

And that is that you let Him be

Responsible for you.

You’ll find He’ll take your burdens,

And give you perfect rest.

So go ahead, just trust Him now,

And you’ll be really blessed.
