Thy Burdens Are Greater Than Mine - Health & Happiness Show Eight, October 1949
Friends it's ham time again on the Health and Happiness Show
Here's one that says more than any song I think I ever heard
Like for you listen to the words to it
Title of it is
Thy Burdens Are Greater Than Mine
Travelin' down a lonely highway
Know not where the road will end
Not a penny in my pocket
All alone without a friend
In a little country village
I met a man and he was blind
As I helped him cross the highway
My friend, I cried thy burdens are greater than mine
I can see the light of day
I need not feel my way
Yes, thy burdens are greater than mine
Met a lad while on my travels
Tryin' hard to play the game
Though his leg was very crippled
And he could not speak his name
Yet he smiled in understandin'
Though life to him had been unkind
And as I watched, I cried in sorrow
O Lord, I see his burdens are greater than mine
I can speak my name aloud
Make my way among the crowd
Yes, his burdens are greater than mine
Just by chance I passed a graveyard
I saw a young man kneelin' there
In his hand, there were some roses
On his lips, there was a prayer
On a stone, these words were written
Thy soul is God's, thy memory is mine
And as I watched, I cried in sorrow
O Lord, I see his burdens are greater than mine
There it is friends, Thy Burdens Are Greater Than Mine
Here's one that says more than any song I think I ever heard
Like for you listen to the words to it
Title of it is
Thy Burdens Are Greater Than Mine
Travelin' down a lonely highway
Know not where the road will end
Not a penny in my pocket
All alone without a friend
In a little country village
I met a man and he was blind
As I helped him cross the highway
My friend, I cried thy burdens are greater than mine
I can see the light of day
I need not feel my way
Yes, thy burdens are greater than mine
Met a lad while on my travels
Tryin' hard to play the game
Though his leg was very crippled
And he could not speak his name
Yet he smiled in understandin'
Though life to him had been unkind
And as I watched, I cried in sorrow
O Lord, I see his burdens are greater than mine
I can speak my name aloud
Make my way among the crowd
Yes, his burdens are greater than mine
Just by chance I passed a graveyard
I saw a young man kneelin' there
In his hand, there were some roses
On his lips, there was a prayer
On a stone, these words were written
Thy soul is God's, thy memory is mine
And as I watched, I cried in sorrow
O Lord, I see his burdens are greater than mine
There it is friends, Thy Burdens Are Greater Than Mine
