Introduction
Some songs feel like they’re wrapped in a comforting blanket of wisdom, and “Leave It There” is one of those timeless gems. Written by Charles A. Tindley, one of the pioneers of gospel music, this song is more than just a melody—it’s a heartfelt reminder to place your burdens in hands far more capable than our own.
“Leave It There” carries a message of surrender, not in defeat, but in faith. It’s an anthem for weary souls, offering solace in its words that no matter how heavy your troubles feel, they’re never too big for the care of the divine. Its simple yet powerful lyrics speak to anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by life’s trials. It’s like hearing a trusted friend tell you, “It’s okay. Let go, and trust.”
Musically, it embodies the roots of gospel with a melody that’s both uplifting and meditative. Whether you hear it in a church, sung by a soulful choir, or quietly played on a piano in the stillness of a Sunday afternoon, the impact is the same. It resonates deep within, leaving a sense of peace and renewed strength.
What makes “Leave It There” truly special is its enduring relevance. Written over a century ago, its message is as potent today as it was then. In a world that often feels chaotic, this song is a gentle nudge to remember that faith and trust can carry us through the darkest times.
It’s a hymn for everyone—whether you’re navigating personal storms, seeking a moment of reflection, or simply in need of a spiritual recharge. And that’s the magic of “Leave It There”. It’s not just a song; it’s a lifeline

Lyrics
If the world from you withholds of its silver and its gold
And you have to get along with meager fare
Just remember, in his word, how he feeds the little bird
Take your burden to the Lord, leave it there
Leave it there, leave it there
Just take your burden to the Lord oh and leave it there
If you trust him through your doubt, he will surely bring you out
Take your burden to the Lord, leave it there
Now if your body suffers pain and your health you can’t regain
And your soul is slowly sinking in despair
Jesus knows the pain you feel, he can save and he can heal
Take your burden to the Lord, leave it there
Leave it there, leave it there
Just take your burden to the Lord oh and leave it there
If you trust him through your doubt, he will surely bring you out
Take your burden to the Lord, leave it there
Take your burden to the Lord
Leave it there
(Leave it there)
Leave it there
