Thy Burdens Are Greater Than Mine Lyrics

Travelin' down a lonely highway I knew not where the road would end Not a penny in my pocket All alone without a friend
In a little country village I met a man and he was blind As I helped him cross the highway Oh Lord, I cried his burdens are greater than mine
I can see the light of day, I need not feel my way Yes, thy burdens are greater than mine
Met a lad while on my travel Tryin' hard to play the game Though his leg was very crippled And he could not speak his name
Yet, he smiled in understandin' Though life to him had been unkind And as I watched, I cried in sorrow Oh Lord, I see his burdens are greater than mine
I can speak my name aloud, make my way among the crowd Yes, his burdens are greater than mine
Just by chance I passed a graveyard I saw a young man kneelin' there In his hand, there were some roses On his lips, there was a prayer
On a stone, these words were written 'Your soul is God's, your memory mine' And as I watched, I cried in sorrow Oh Lord, I see his burdens are greater than mine
