Give It Over To Jesus



 
 
 
Give It Over To Jesus

By George Thurlow
 
 

Why is it my friend that you insist
On keeping your load of cares,
When Jesus died and paid the price
Your sorrows He longs to bear?

Why should you stay so miserable,
Your day so filled with strife;
Just give it over to Jesus
That's why He gave His life?

Why do you let the stress of life
Eat at your peace of mind;
If you put the Kingdom first
Then His rest you'll find?

Why do you care what others think
There's only One to please;
The Author and Finisher of our faith
And His hands hold the keys?

Why do you let your worries
Get the best of you;
For He has promised abundant life
And to provide for you?

And why hold on to anger
And things from long ago;
Christ will heal the bitterness,
But you must forgive also?

My friend He's the only answer
For all your hurts and cares;
Take them to the foot of the Cross
And then just leave them there.
