Leave it There

 

Leave it There

Jesus knows when we are poor; He knows when we are sick and He knows when we are oppressed by outside forces. He Knows our aches and pains and our aging body. He knows all about us  and He is there for us  every step of the way. God is our provider, protector and defender. He hears our every prayer, and He wants us to bring our burdens to Him and leave them with Him. So often, we give our burdens to Jesus and then we take them back, thinking we need to do something. All we need to do is trust Him, knowing He knows what is best for us.

Lyrics by C. Albert Tindley, arranged by C. Albert Tindley

“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.

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 you 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.

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.”
