Thy Burdens Are Greater Than Mine Lyrics - Lynn Morris

In a [G7] little country [C] village 

I met a [F] man and he was [C] blind 

As I [F] helped him cross the high-[C] way 

Oh! [Am] Lord I cried his [C] burdens are [G7] greater than [C] mine. 

I can [F] see the light of day 

I [C] need not feel my way 

Yes, thy burdens are [G7] greater than [C] 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 

Oh! Lord 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.
