When your skies are the dark­est, my bro­ther,
And your bur­dens too hea­vy to bear;
There is One who will car­ry it for you;
Just take it to Je­sus in pray­er.

Refrain

Thro’ the dark­ness He ev­er will lead you,
All your bur­dens the Sav­ior will bear;
He is will­ing each mo­ment to aid you;
Just take it to Je­sus in pray­er.

When the temp­ter as­sails you, my bro­ther,
At each turn of your path sets a snare;
If you ask Him, the Sav­ior will lead you;
Just take it to Je­sus in pray­er.

Refrain

When your tri­als are great­est, my bro­ther,
And you’re almost o’er­come with des­pair,
There is One who will nev­er for­sake you;
Just take to Je­sus in pray­er.

Refrain

When your bat­tles are end­ed, my bro­ther,
And the heav­en­ly man­sions you share,
You will find you have con­quered, my bro­ther,
By go­ing to Je­sus in pray­er.

Refrain
