Representative Text

1 When your heart is filled with sorrow,
And your grief is hard to bear;
Look to Christ, the burden bearer,
Who will all your sorrow share.

Refrain:
Jesus waits and calls, my brother,
Now in sin no longer stay;
Don’t delay so great salvation,
Jesus waits and calls today.

2 “More like Christ,” I’m praying ever,
That I may His likeness bear;
And His praises as I journey,
I am singing ev’rywhere. [Refrain]

3 Now my days are always brighter,
Since the Saviour’s love I’ve found;
And my burdens are much lighter,
On the homeward path I’m bound. [Refrain]
