Leave It There

If the world from you with­hold

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.

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 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.

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.
