as doubling over
the load
on my shoulders
Was a weight
I carried
with me everyday
Crossing miles of
frustrations
and rivers a raging
Picking up stones
I found along the way
I staggered
and I stumbled down
Pathways of trouble
I was hauling
those souvenirs
of misery
And with each step
taken my back
was breaking 'Til
I found the One
who took it
all from me
Down by the riverside
I laid
my burdens down Now
I'm traveling light
My spirit lifted high
I found
my freedom now And
I'm traveling light
Through the darkest
alleys and loneliest
valleys
I was dragging
those heavy
chains of dou
bt and fear
Then with the one
word spoken the locks
were broken
Now He's leading me
to places
Where there are
no tears
Down by the riverside
I laid
my burdens down Now
I'm traveling light
My spirit lifted high
I found
my freedom now
And I'm
traveling light
Down by the riverside
I laid
my burdens down Now
I'm traveling light
My spirit lifted high
I found
my freedom now And
I'm traveling light
Down by the riverside
I laid
my burdens down Now
I'm traveling light
My spirit lifted high
I found
my freedom now And
I'm traveling light
Down by the riverside
I laid
my burdens down Now
I m traveling light
My spirit lifted high
I found
my freedom now And
I m traveling light
I found
my freedom now
