My troubled soul why so weighed down

you were not made to bear this heavy load.

Cast all your burdens upon the Lord

Jesus cares, he cares for you.

I will praise the mighty Name of Jesus,

All my days are in his faithful hands.

My anxious heart, Why so upset?

Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms
