8155. There's A Blessing At The Cross For Me

1 I have laid my burden down
Where the crimson waters flow,
There’s a blessing at the cross for me;
I have found a spring of joy
That the world can never know,
There’s a blessing at the cross for me.

Refrain:
Praise the Lord! praise the Lord!
Hallelujah!
Still my happy, happy song shall be;
I have found a spring of joy
That the world can never know,
There’s a blessing at the cross for me.

2 I have laid my burden down,
And my troubled heart is still,
There’s a blessing at the cross for me;
I am learning there by faith
My Redeemer’s gracious will,
There’s a blessing at the cross for me. [Refrain]

3 I have laid my burden down:
Oh, the peace that fills my soul!
There’s a blessing at the cross for me;
I was dead, but now I live,
Since my Savior made me whole,
There’s a blessing at the cross for me. [Refrain]

4 I have laid my burden down,
And my Savior gives me rest,
There’s a blessing at the cross for me;
I can pillow now my head
On His gentle, loving breast,
There’s a blessing at the cross for me. [Refrain]
