Oh, when I'm tried or distressed
And I know not what to do
I found in the time of need
My Lord will see me through
He'll turn my night to day, yes, it will
And always point the way
I can take my burden to the Lord
And I can leave it there

Now when my cross gets heavy on my way
I just take it to Jesus, mm-hmm
When my cross gets heavy on my way
I take it to the Lord, yeah
My load gets lighter
My way, it gets brighter with Jesus
Oh, yeah, I just take my burden to the Lord
And leave it there

Now, when I'm tried or distressed
And I know not what to do
I found in the time of need
My Lord will see me through
I know that He will turn my night to day
And always point the way
I can take my burden to the Lord
And leave it there
Now when my cross gets heavy on my way
I just take it to Jesus, mm-hmm
Oh, when my cross gets heavy on my way
I take it to the Lord, yeah
Well, though the load gets lighter
And my way gets brighter with Jesus
Whoo, yeah, I take my burden to the Lord
And leave it there

Take my burden to the Lord
Take it to Jesus
Take my burden to the Lord
Take it to Jesus
Take my burden to the Lord
Take it to Jesus
Take my burden to the Lord
Take it to Jesus

Take my burden to the Lord
Take it to Jesus
Take my burden to the Lord
Take it to Jesus
Take my burden to the Lord
Take it to Jesus
Take my burden, yeah
When the load gets lighter
And my way gets brighter with Jesus
Oh, yeah, I just take my burden to the Lord
And leave it there
I just take my burden to the Lord
And leave it there, oh, yeah
I just take my burden to the Lord
And leave it there, leave it there
