Version 1
C G7 C
Traveling down a lonely highway
F C
I knew not where the road would end
F C
Not a penny in my pocket
G7 C
All alone without a friend
G7 C
In a little country village
F C
I met a man and he was blind
F C
As I helped him cross the highway
Am C G7 C
Oh Lord I cried his burdens are greater than mine
F C
I can see the light of day I need not feel my way
G7 C
Yes thy burdens are greater than mine
G7 C
Met a lad while on my travels
F C
Trying hard to play the game
F C
Though his leg was very crippled
G7 C
And he could not speak his name
G7 C
Yet he smiled in understanding
F C
Though life to him had been unkind
F C
And as I watched I cried in sorrow
Am C G7 C
Oh Lord I see his burdens are greater than mine
F C
I can speak my name aloud make my way among the crowd
G7 C
Yes his burdens are greater than mine
G7 C
Just by chance I passed a graveyard
F C
I saw a young man kneeling there
F C
In his hand there were some roses
G7 C
On his lips there was a prayer
G7 C
On a stone these words were written
F C
Your soul is God's your memory mine
F C
And as I watched I cried in sorrow
Am C G7 C
Oh Lord I see his burdens are greater than mine
