Lyrics of Thy burdens are greater than mine

Travelin' down a lonely highway
I knew not where the road would end
Not a penny in my pocket
All alone without a friend

In a little country village
I met a man and he was blind
As i helped him cross the highway
Oh lord, i cried his burdens are greater than mine

I can see the light of day, i need not feel my way
Yes, his burdens are greater than mine

Met a lad while on my travel
Tryin' hard to play the game
Though his leg was very crippled
And he could not speak his name

Yet, he smiled in understandin'
Though life to him had been unkind
And as i watched, i cried in sorrow
Oh lord, i see his burdens are greater than mine

I can speak my name aloud, make my way among the crowd
Yes, his burdens are greater than mine

Just by chance i passed a graveyard
I saw a young man kneelin' there
In his hands, there were some roses
On his lips, there was a prayer

On a stone, these words were written
"your soul is god's, your memory mine"
And as i watched, i cried in sorrow
Oh lord, i see his burdens are greater than mine
