If your shoulders feel heavy, your feet dragging low,
And you’re lugging a weight wherever you go,
Don’t carry that pack full of worry and dread.
Give it to God, and lift up your head.
Just hand him your heartache, your sorrow, your fear,
He’s stronger than storms and always stays near.
He won’t let you tumble or fall in defeat,
He’ll steady your soul and strengthen your feet.
He’s not like a friend who might walk away.
He sticks by your side every hour each day.
He’ll carry your troubles and lighten the strain,
Like sunshine that breaks through cold pouring rain.
So don’t clutch your cares like a miser with gold,
Let go of that burden. Be brave and be bold.
The Lord is your helper, your fortress, your guide—
Just trust him completely, and walk by his side.
