SOLO

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

REFRAIN: Leave it there, leave it there
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there
If you trust and never doubt, He'll 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 re-gain
And you fall close to 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

REFRAIN: Leave it there, leave it there
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there
If you trust and never doubt, He'll 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, He will lead you safely through
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there

REFRAIN: Leave it there, leave it there
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there
If you trust and never doubt, He'll 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 bent 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

REFRAIN: Leave it there, leave it there
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there
If you trust and never doubt, He'll surely bring you out
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there
