Verse 1
Stumbling 'neath a load of my transgressions,
I can never find the way,
Guilt and heavy shame were my possessions,
And a debt I could not pay,
Then I heard the story of redeeming glory,
Jesus paid it all for me,
I called on Him by faith,
He covered me with grace,
Now praise His holy name. I'm free,
Chorus
He took away my burden (took away my burden)
(When I) fell on bended knee,
He took away my sorrow (took away my sorrow)
When His mercy lifted me,
What a joy and wonder,
Just to know I'm under,
His amazing love divine,
He took away my burden, (took away my burden,
When He saved (saved) this (this) soul of mine (soul of mine.
Verse 2
If you ever walked down paths of darkness,
But today you walk in light,
If you wore sin as dark as Scarlet,
Now you're wearing garments white,
Let your testimony reach a soul as lonely,
Tell him there's a blessed hope,
The whole world needs to hear,
How heaven's hope appeared,
Come all of the redeemed say so,
Chorus
He took away my burden (took away my burden)
(When I) fell on bended knee,
He took away my sorrow (took away my sorrow)
When His mercy lifted me,
What a joy and wonder,
Just to know I'm under,
His amazing love divine,
He took away my burden, (took away my burden,
(When He) saved this soul of mine,
Tag
What a joy and wonder,
Just to know I'm under,
His amazing love divine,
He took away my burden (took away my burden)
(When He) saved this soul of mine.
He Took Away My Burden
