There are times when earth’s sorrows
Bring heartaches to bear,
And life’s troubles weigh heavy,
With no one to share.
All of my heartaches, all of my cares,
All of my burdens Jesus will share.
It’s then that I turn to my Saviour and friend,
Who with each trial, a blessing will send.
He gives me comfort, He gives me care.
His hand will guide me, Jesus is there.
Jesus is standing outside my heart’s door,
I only must open to sup with the Lord.
Jesus, a table has spread there for me,
Filled with the goodness of heaven for me.
And lo, though my sorrow be more than I bear,
My loved ones with Jesus and I’ll meet them there.
All of my heartaches, all of my cares,
All of my burdens, Jesus will share.
