Bertha Mae Lillenas was the wife of Haldor Lillenas, author of Wonderful Grace of Jesus, and this fine tune ranks right up there with his own! Stirring arrangement of Jesus Took My Burden, perfect for offertory or other church special! 1. When I, a poor, lost sinner, Before the Lord did fall, And in the name of Jesus For pardon loud did call; He heard my supplication, And soon the weak was strong, For Jesus took my burden, And left me with a song. 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. 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. 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. Chorus: Yes, Jesus took my burden I could no longer bear, Yes, Jesus took my burden In answer to my prayer; My anxious fears subsided My spirit was made strong, For Jesus took my burden, And left me with a song. | |||
