Old Rugged Cross and What a Friend We Have in Jesus are well known..... I see the last one left to post is our old friend, "Burdens Are Lifted At Calvary." Gosh, what a great song-- and always singable no matter the key or the voice of the day! No worries if you haven't ever heard it, either-- it's so singlable that we've never had it fail to rouse people to sing right along. Lord, we do love our waltzes. Good one to practice singing clean diction, too, especially the "-ear" sound!

================================

BURDENS ARE LIFTED AT CALVARY
By John M. Moore.

1. Days are filled with sorrow and care,
Hearts are lonely and drear;
Burdens are lifted at Calvary,
Jesus is very near.

REFRAIN:
Burdens are lifted at Calvary,
Calvary, Calvary;
Burdens are lifted at Calvary,
Jesus is very near.

2. Cast your care on Jesus today;
Leave your worry and fear;
Burdens are lifted at Calvary,
Jesus is very near.

3. Troubled soul, the Savior can see
Every heartache and tear,
Burdens are lifted at Calvary,
Jesus is very near.
