Jesus Took My Burden Lyrics & Chords

By Slim Whitman

Verse 1

(D)When I, a poor lost sinner, be(A)fore the Lord did fall,

And in the name of Jesus for (D)pardon loud did call.

He heard my supplication, and soon the weak was (G)strong;

For Jesus took my (D)burden and (A)left with me a (D)song.



Verse 2

Oft-times the way is dreary and rugged seems the road.

Oft-times I'm weak and weary when bent beneath some load.

But when I cry in weakness, “how long, O Lord, how long”?

Then Jesus takes the burden and leaves me with a song.



Chorus

(D)Yes, (A)Jesus took my burden (D)I could no longer bear;

Yes, (A)Jesus took my burden in (D)answer to my prayer.

My anxious fears subsided; my spirit was made (G)strong,

For Jesus took my (D)burden and (A)left me with a (D)song.



Verse 3

When I was crushed with sorrow, I bowed in deep despair;

My load of grief and heartache seemed more than I could bear.

Twas then I heard a whisper, “you to the Lord belong”,

Then Jesus took my burden and left me with a song.



Verse 4

I'll trust Him for the future. He knoweth all the way;

For with His eye He'll guide me along life's pilgrim way;

And I will tell in heaven while ages roll along,

How Jesus took my burden and left me with a song.
