anxiety

Is there a heart o'er bound by sorrow?
Is there a life weighed down by care?
Come to the cross each burden bearing.
All your anxiety leave it there.

All your anxiety, all your care,
Bring to the mercy seat leave it there;
Never a burden that He cannot bear,
Never a friend like Jesus.

No other friend so keen to help you,
No other friend so quick to hear.
No other place to leave your burden;
No other one to hear your prayer.

All your anxiety, all your care,
Bring to the mercy seat leave it there;
Never a burden that He cannot bear,
Never a friend like Jesus.


~Edward Henry Joy, 1920
