Lyrics
1.
Cast your care on me, lay down your load,
Sit down and rest here beside the road;
I would refresh you, would soothe your pain,
I would restore you to wholeness again.
2.
Don't look so anxious, don't look so sad,
I know the heartache and trouble you've had;
I was there with you, close by your side,
Even if your tears my face did hide.
3.
I would pour ointment into your wounds,
I would enfold you close in my arms,
I would so gently remove all your fears,
All your misgivings, all trace of tears.
4.
Let me caress you, give you my peace,
Let me make turmoil and anguish to cease;
Then when you've rested here for a while
We'll walk together another mile.
