Thy Burdens Are Greater Than Mine Lyrics

In a little country village
I met a man and he was blind
As I helped him cross the highway
I cried thy burdens are greater than mineI can see the light of day
And I need not feel my way
Yes thy burdensSaw a lad well on his travels
Trying hard to play the game
Though his leg was very crippled
And he could not speak his nameStill he smiled in understanding
Though life to him had been unkind
As I watched I thought in sorrow
Son thy burdensI can speak my name aloud
Make my way among the crowd
Yes thy burdensJust by chance I passed a graveyard
Saw a young man kneeling there
In his hand there were some roses
On his lips there was a prayerOn a stone these words were written
My soul is God's my memory thine

As I watched I thought in sorrow
Friends thy burdensI'm just a drifter all alone
I got no friends I got no home
Yes thy burdens ...
