A Hymn: Cast Thy Burden Upon the Lord
Singing and composing hymns and other songs have been part of my life since my teenage days
Composer’s Foreword
I am not good in notes, but from the local church trainings while in choir, I have come around with this hymn using another hymn. If you know the hymn beneath, then you can join me to sing this song unto the Lord.
Jerusalem On High
The Composed Song
1. Ask it ‘ll be given you
Seek thou shall even find
Knock it ‘ll be ‘pened to you
And this is his promise
Refrain/Chorus
Cast thou your burden
Upon the Lord
Because he is the One
Who cares even for thee
2. For there isn’t a man
Whom his son asks of bread
But who will give him stones
Even in this very world
Refrain/Chorus
3. For there is no father
Whose son ‘ll also ask
Of him even fishes
Who ‘ll give him a snake
Refrain/Chorus
4. Or who can even be
Among thee let him say
Whose son ‘ll ask of eggs
But who ‘ll give him scorpion
Refrain/Chorus
5. If evil human beings
Do know how to give things
That ‘re good unto their sons
How much more our heav’nly Father
Refrain/Chorus
6. He ‘ll give those who have asked
Yea, his Holy Spirit
And also His Power
To serve him to the end
Refrain/Chorus
7. Good ‘xceedingly can do more
Above all that we ‘ve asked
And that abundantly
More than all our thoughts
Refrain/Chorus
