Lyrics
He lifted my burdens at Calvary
He carried 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
Then I gave my heart to Jesus
And He lifted my burdens away
He lifted my burdens at Calvary
He carried 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 now live 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
And I thank Him for that moment
He lifted my burdens away
He lifted my burdens at Calvary
He carried 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 carried 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
