Song for Saturday

This song is an older song, but its one we've loved for... well, forever, it seems! Michael often sits and sings it and plays it on his guitar. Its so beautiful! It often brings me to tears.

However, since it is older, I couldn't find any videos to post with the song in it. Instead, this link will open a new window with a pop-up player so you can listen to it. Its a short song, less than 3 minutes, so take a few and give it a listen!

Cast Down Your Cares by John Michael Talbot

Cast your cares upon Him
Lay your life upon Him
For only He is worthy to stand

In tribulation, trial and sorrow,
When you can't see through tomorrow
He'll reveal to you the frailty of a man

Can you reach to love your neighbor?
Will they see the sweet, sweet Savior
Shining through the charity you give?

Do you hear His call to follow?
You must lay down your life to follow
For only when you die are you free to live

We must go as a light to the nations
Take up the cross and follow where He leads
We must go as a light to the nations
Prepare to wear His crown of thorns to bring His peace

Cast your cares upon Him
Lay your life upon Him
His faithfulness and love is always there

Are you prepared to take His cross to bear?
Will His love be what you freely share?
In humility... cast down your cares
