1. Please give ear, O Lord, Jehovah
Let yourself be found by me
Hear my prayer, and may you answer;
Help me unafraid to be

(CHORUS)
Throw your burden on Jehovah;
He himself will you sustain
He will never let you totter
But will help you firm remain

2. Had I wings just as a dove has
Far from danger I would fly
Safe from those who seek to hurt me
Sheltered from their hateful cry

(CHORUS)
Throw your burden on Jehovah;
He himself will you sustain
He will never let you totter
But will help you firm remain

3. I will call upon Jehovah
His protection I will seek
He gives peace midst opposition;
Strength he gives to all the meek
