Thy Burdens Are Greater Than Mine
Roy Acuff & His Smoky Mountain Boys
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 travels Tryin' hard to play the game Though his leg was very crippled And he could not speak his name Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Yet, he smiled in understandin' Though life to him had been unkind And as I watched, I cried in sorrow Oh! Lord 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 mem'ry mine' And as I watched, I cried in sorrow Oh! Lord I see his burdens are greater than mine.
