My troubled soul, why so weighed down?

You weren?t meant to bear this heavy load

So cast all your burdens upon the Lord

Cause Jesus cares, He cares for you

Jesus cares, He cares for you

And all your worrying won?t help you make it through

So cast all your burdens upon the Lord

And trust again in the promise of his love

And I?ll praise the mighty name of Jesus

Praise the Lord the lifter of my head

Praise the Rock of my salvation

All my days are in His faithful hands

My anxious heart, why so upset?

In troubled times how you so easily forget

To cast all your burdens upon the Lord

Cause Jesus cares, He cares for you

Jesus cares, He cares for you

And all your worrying won?t help you make it through

So cast all your burdens upon the Lord

And trust again in the promise of his love

And I?ll praise the mighty name of Jesus

Praise the Lord the lifter of my head

Praise the rock of my salvation

All my days are in His faithful hands

And I?m leaning, leaning
