Weary is my soul
Lord, my strength, my comfort be
In my time of sorrow.
Keep me from errant ways, O Lord
Guide me with Thy decrees
Let grace and life be my reward
For living faithfully.
Lord, I lift my life to Thee
Help me to be true
Teach me, Lord, that I might be
Justified through You.
My heart is set upon Your Law
It is the light I see
I run with joy in Your commands
For You have set me free!
Set me free!...
Lord, I Lift My Cares to You
