There's a time in every life When we've got to realize That there are some things in this world That we can't do And there's a time in every heart In every woman, man or child When the pressures seem to get The best of you I know of one who handles problems He's a burden bearing friend And there is nothing in this world He cannot do So take those burdens that you are bearing And release them to the Lord I guarantee you He will make you feel brand new Chorus: So take your burdens to the Lord (Take it to the Lord when you need a better friend) He's a burden bearing friend (Burdens go away when the Lord is here to stay) Take your burdens to the Lord (Take it to the Lord, there's no better friend than He) On His love you can depend (Fully lean upon His everlasting arms) Take your burdens to the Lord (Take it to the Lord and you'll never be afraid) Don't you fear and please don't doubt (Doubts and fears today they can only cloud the way) Take your burdens to the Lord (Take it to the Lord, won't you take it right away) He will help you work them out (Today) When your youthful days are fading And your sight is growing dim And the health you had before You can't regain (health is almost gone) When each day seems like forever With the problems of old age And it's hard to smile 'cause your body Is filled with pain My Jesus knows your every burden And He knows what you can bear So don't you feel that you Are out there on your own He can help you if you will let Him He is waiting there for you He'll be a friend who will never Leave you all alone Repeat Chorus
