Carry That Load

Carry that load just as far as you can It ain't heavy you know There's milk and there's honey just a waiting there for you So come on friend, carry through The road is long and narrow they say And it just seems to get steeper all the time And no one's holding you back my friend Are you coming or are you staying behind I know you've been travelling for a long long time I know you're tired and you're blue But listen my friend, there's a place there for you If you'll just carry through Born as the heir to a promised land A place where no one must die A place where suffering and pain are no more A place where God's children don't cry You'll sit down to a banquet with the King and His court Join hands with the good and the true And then you'll be part of a heavenly host Those who have all carried through I know you've been travelling for a long long time I know you're tired and you're blue But listen my friend, there's a place there for you If you'll just carry through Carry that load just as long as you can It ain't heavy you know There's milk and there's honey just a waiting there for you So come on friend, carry through
