Burdens are lifted at Calvary,
Calvary, Calvary!
Burdens are lifted at Calvary,
Jesus is very near.

The hymn reminds us that no matter how heavy our burdens may feel, we can find relief and redemption at the foot of the cross. Its message of grace and mercy continues to bring comfort to believers, encouraging them to lay their worries at Jesus’ feet. A timeless reminder of His love and nearness!

Burdens Are Lifted at Calvary Lyrics

Days are filled with sorrow and care,
Hearts are lonely and drear;
Burdens are lifted at Calvary,
Jesus is very near.

Refrain:
Burdens are lifted at Calvary,
Calvary, Calvary;
Burdens are lifted at Calvary,
Jesus is very near.

Cast your care on Jesus today,
Leave your worry and fear;
Burdens are lifted at Calvary,
Jesus is very near.

Troubled soul, the Savior can see
Every heartache and tear;
Burdens are lifted at Calvary,
Jesus is very near.
