F                   C                   Bb           F
Lord I have a heavy burden of all I've seen and know
(F)                  C
It's more than I can handle
    F                           C            Bb      F
But Your word is burning like a fire shut up in my bones
(F)                 C
And I can't let it go

             Gm        Am   Bb
And when I'm weary and over - wrought
        Dm                   G
With so many battles left un - fought
           Bb      F             Bb    F
I think of Paul and Silas in the prison yard
             Bb     F        C
I hear their song of freedom rising to the stars

Lord it's all that I can't carry and cannot leave behind
               C
It all can overwhelm me 
         F                             C                  Bb         F
But when I think of all who've gone before and lived a faithful life
                     C
Their courage compels me

             Gm        Am   Bb
And when I'm weary and over - wrought
        Dm                   G
