Lyrics

I was walking down the road
I heard a voice inside my head
Put it down don't carry that load
It's too heavy for you he said
It's too heavy for you he said

Lift me up
Lift me up
Dear sweet Jesus lift me up

Take this load off my back
I cried out loud
I felt his hand touch my shoulder
I saw the sun right through the clouds
I saw the sun right through the clouds

Lift me up
Lift me up
Dear sweet Jesus lift me up
Lift me up
Lift me up
Dear sweet Jesus lift me up

I feel much better
I feel like laughing inside
Since Jesus took from me
He took my troubles right off my mind

So I'll give some advice
Take that load right off of you
Hand it over to the Christ
Walk away and don't refuse

Lift me up
Lift me up
Dear sweet Jesus lift me up
Lift me up
Lift me up
Dear sweet Jesus lift me up
