[Verse 1]
In this fast moving world that we live in
When my mind feels heavy from the load
As the problems of life overtake us
Darling you always lighten the load

[Chorus]
Thank you for love that's much greater
And much stronger than the problems we know
And thank you for loving your man that walks a hard road
Darling thank you for lightening the load

[Verse 2]
When my shoulder's bent to hard labor
And I've worked till my back is bowed
Then your loving hands reach to hold me
Darling you always lighten the load

[Chorus]
Thank you for love that's much greater
And much stronger than the problems we know
And thank you for loving your man that walks a hard road
Darling thank you for lightening the load
Darling thank you for lightening thе load
