Cast your burdens unto Jesus, for He cares for you.
Cast your burdens unto Jesus, for He cares for you.
Higher higher, higher higher higher higher, Higher higher, Lift Jesus higher.
Lower lower, lower lower lower lower, lower lower, Stomp Satan lower.
Deeper deeper, deeper deeper deeper deeper, deeper deeper, His love is deeper.
Wider wider, wider wider wider wider, wider wider,
His love is wider.
Super super, super super super super, super super,
Supernatural power

Song Meaning
Watoto Children's Choir open by quoting 1 Peter 5:7 directly: "cast your burdens unto Jesus, for He cares for you." The verse's instruction to "cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you" gets repeated as the song's foundation before the rest of the song builds outward from it.
The repeated structure — "higher," "lower," "deeper," "wider," naming Jesus lifted, Satan stomped, love measured in every direction — reaches for Ephesians 3:18's prayer that believers would grasp "the width and length and height and depth" of Christ's love. The song's simplicity is deliberate; a children's choir built on this structure doesn't need complex language to make the same claim scripture does about love's scale.
