He Lifted My Burdens Away Lyrics

He lifted my burdens at Calvary,
He buried them high upon an old rugged tree.
There His blood broke my chains of sin and washed me clean.
In victory I'll praise Him for the day,
He lifted my burdens away.

I once tried everything to find peace in my soul,
Climbing the wrong mountains and taking the wrong roads.
Surrounded by a wall so high it hid the light of day,
But then I gave my heart to Jesus and He lifted my burdens away.

He lifted my burdens at Calvary,
He buried them high upon an old rugged tree.
There His blood broke my chains of sin and washed me clean.
In victory I'll praise Him for the day,
He lifted my burdens away.

I'm now left free and peace abides within my soul,
Grace and mercy stay beside me as I walk this road to home,
A wall of shining light surrounds me when I kneel to pray,
Well I thank Him for that moment, He lifted my burdens away.

He lifted my burdens at Calvary,
He buried them high upon an old rugged tree.
There His blood broke my chains of sin and washed me clean.
In victory I'll praise Him for the day,
He lifted my burdens away.

He lifted my burdens at Calvary,
He buried them high upon an old rugged tree.
There His blood broke my chains of sin and washed me clean.
In victory I'll praise Him for the day,
He lifted my burdens,
He took all my burdens, He lifted my burdens away.
