An old song with a new rendition by Derri Daugherty. It is a bit sappy (and I appreciate Derri’s updated lyrics, see the strikeout below) but it is a message I need to hear on a regular basis.
If your body suffers pain and your health you can’t regain,
And your soul is almost sinking in despair,
Jesus knows the pain you feel, He can save and He can heal—
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.Refrain:
Leave it there, leave it there,
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there;
If you trustand neverthrough the doubt, He will surely bring you out—
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
One thought on “Leave It There”
the only version of the song I’ve heard until today was Blind Willie Johnson’s version

It doesn’t sound as sappy when Johnson sings it, mainly because of his ferocious false bass technique!
