Lyrics

Have you ev­er tried to bear your bur­dens
All alone? All alone?
Don’t you know there’s one who waits to help you,
Who will make all your bur­dens His own?

Refrain

When I have bur­dens to bear
Which no one can share,
I take them to Je­sus, the Man of Cal­va­ry;
When I have cross­es to bear, my Sav­ior is there,
And al­ways takes the hea­vy end,
And gives the light to me.

Don’t you know He trod the wine­press for you?
All alone? All alone?
And the bur­den that He bore in meek­ness,
Such a bur­den no oth­er has known.

Refrain

Don’t you know that He has bought your par­don
All alone? All alone?
And your gra­ti­tude for such a mer­cy
Unto Je­sus you ne­ver have shown.
