Lyrics
Font size:
My burdens keep me humble
And teach me to pray
If I've murmured or grumbled
Forgive the words I say
Give me grace to follow
My road day by day
Don't take my burdens
Or my cross away.
CHORUS
For I would grow careless
And I would not fear
My eyes would be dry
And I'd never shed a tear
Lest I forget that I need Thee each day
Don't take my burdens
Or my cross away.
With the cross on my shoulders
My heart cannot stray
For the cross leads me onward
To my home far away
And I will not question the way
He must lead
Don't take my burdens
Or my cross away.
CHORUS
For I would grow careless
And I would not fear
My eyes would be dry
And I'd never shed a tear
Lest I forget that I need Thee each day
Don't take my burdens
Or my cross away.
And teach me to pray
If I've murmured or grumbled
Forgive the words I say
Give me grace to follow
My road day by day
Don't take my burdens
Or my cross away.
CHORUS
For I would grow careless
And I would not fear
My eyes would be dry
And I'd never shed a tear
Lest I forget that I need Thee each day
Don't take my burdens
Or my cross away.
With the cross on my shoulders
My heart cannot stray
For the cross leads me onward
To my home far away
And I will not question the way
He must lead
Don't take my burdens
Or my cross away.
CHORUS
For I would grow careless
And I would not fear
My eyes would be dry
And I'd never shed a tear
Lest I forget that I need Thee each day
Don't take my burdens
Or my cross away.
