[G]
[C]
[G] Traveling down a lonely [C] highway I knew not [F] where the road would [C] end
Not [F] a penny in [C] my pocket All [G] alone without [C] a friend
In a [G] little [C] country village I met [F] a man and he [C] was blind
As [F] I helped him cross [C] the highway [F] Oh Lord, I cried, [C] his burdens [G] are greater [C] than mine
I can [F]
see the light of day [C] I need not feel my way
Yes, thy burdens are [G] greater [C] than mine That [G]
lad, while on [C] my trail
Trying [F]
hard to play [C] the game Though his [F] leg was very [C] crippled
And he [G] could not speak [C] his name Yet he [G]
smiled in [C]
understanding
Though life to [F]
him had [C] been unkind And as [F] I watched, I [C] cried in sorrow
[F] Oh Lord, I see [C] his burdens [G] are greater [C] than mine
I can [F] speak my name aloud Make my [C] way among the crowd
Yes, his burdens [G] are greater than [C]
mine Just by [G]
chance I passed [C] a graveyard
I saw [F] a young man kneeling [C]
there In [F] his hands there were [C] some roses
On [G] his lips there was [C] a prayer On [G] a stone these words [C] were written
Your soul [F] is God, your [C] memory mine And as [F] I watched, I [C] cried in sorrow
[G] Oh Lord, I see his [C]
burdens [G] are greater than [C] mine
