Days are filled with sorrow and care 

Hearts are lonely and drear  

Burdens are lifted at Calvary 

Jesus is very near


Burdens are lifted at Calvary 

Calvary Calvary  

Burdens are lifted at Calvary 

Jesus is very near


Cast your care on Jesus today 

Leave your worry and fear  

Burdens are lifted at Calvary 

Jesus is very near 


Burdens are lifted at Calvary 

Calvary Calvary  

Burdens are lifted at Calvary 

Jesus is very near 


Troubled soul the Savior can see 

Every heartache and tear  

Burdens are lifted at Calvary 

Jesus is very near 


Burdens are lifted at Calvary 

Calvary Calvary  

Burdens are lifted at Calvary 

Jesus is very near
