This is one of my favourite hymns from the 70s. Written by Bill Butterworth in his musical, "Make it Clear," this song remains a beautiful reminder about the purpose of the gospel.
I usually play to the key of D.
A Burden for Souls (灵魂的负担)
A burden for souls dear
Lord, a burden to share
A love for the lost dear Lord, a genuine care
A need to see this world as people dying each day
An urge to speak with them, to do more than just pray
A love for the lost dear Lord, a genuine care
A need to see this world as people dying each day
An urge to speak with them, to do more than just pray
A burden for souls dear
Lord, a decision to make
A goal to follow Christ, whatever it takes
A life of sharing the gospel with whomever I can
A need to take my eyes off myself, to see God’s plan
To see God’s plan.
A goal to follow Christ, whatever it takes
A life of sharing the gospel with whomever I can
A need to take my eyes off myself, to see God’s plan
To see God’s plan.
A burden for souls
dear Lord, this will always be my prayer
Make this burden real to me, that I may always care
To share God’s love, to share God’s love
To share God’s love, Amen.
Make this burden real to me, that I may always care
To share God’s love, to share God’s love
To share God’s love, Amen.
