Song Lyrics
(verse1)
I once asked of Jesus
Why must I suffer so
Why am I unable
To let my anger go
He quietly looked down from heavens throne
As I prayed there on my knees
Listening with my heart I heard
As he gently answered me
(Chorus 1)
Give your burdens to me
Peace I give to you
Trust in my salvation
And I will make your heart brand new
(verse2)
so then I said to Jesus
Lord I am still afraid
It is so hard to just let go
And trust the promises you’ve made
I want to give my heart to you
To get forgiveness of my sins
Where can I find the strength oh Lord
To let your spirit in
(chorus2)
he quietly looked down from heaven
as I prayed there on my knees
he saw me listening with my heart
and so he said to me
lean not to your own understanding
trust in me right now
take up your cross and follow me
I will gladly show you how
(verse3)
Then as I knelt there weeping
Asking him to pity me
I opened up my heart to God
And said I surrender all to thee
It was then I felt his presence
Kneeling there with me
He healed my broken heart that day
And I received the victory
(verse4)
so friend are you unhappy
has your life been so unfair
does it seem your soul is empty
and you have no one left that cares
or are you so successful
you’ve experienced no pain or strife
no matter what you think your worth
you can’t buy eternal life
the gift of which I speak dear one
cannot be bought nor sold
this precious pearl has no price
it is free to young and old
(chorus 3)
now it’s time for each of you
to listen to his voice
accept the gift of Jesus Christ
there is no better choice
He’s come quietly down from heavens throne
To teach us to be free
If we’ll listen with our heart of hearts
He has some words for you and me
He says give your burdens to me
Peace I give to you
Trust in my salvation
And I will make your hearts brand new
Lean not to your own understanding
Trust in me right now
Take up your cross and follow me
I will gladly show you how
