My burdens keep my humble and teach me to pray
If I murmur or grumble forgive the words I say
Give me strength to carry my load day by day
But don't take my burdens or my cross away
With a cross on my shoulders my feet cannot stray
For the cross leads me onward to my home far away
And I will not question this price I must pay
Just don't take my burdens or my cross away
For I would grow careless and idle I fear
My eyes would be dry and I'd never shed a tear
Lest I forget oh that I need you each day
Don't take my burdens or my cross away
