One day I traveled a toilsome
road
Over the hills of despair;
One day I carried a weary load,
Cumbered with toil and with care.
Refrain
The burden that
once I carried is gone, is gone
Of all my sins there remaineth
not one, not one.
Jesus, the Savior, hath ransomed
me,
Bearing my sins upon Calvary,
Giving me glorious liberty;
My burden of sin is gone.
Gone is the night with its
shadows drear;
Morning hath dawned upon me.
Gone is the burden of anxious
fear;
Freedom my portion shall be.
Refrain
No more the burden of guilt is
mine;
No more in bondage I dwell.
Unto my glorious King divine
Jubilant praises shall swell.
Refrain
