Hey, I just have to share this song with you that’s been like a warm cup of tea for my soul lately—it’s called “Leave It There.” You know those days when everything feels a bit too heavy, and you’re juggling worries like flaming torches? This song feels like a gentle nudge to set those torches down before you get burned.
“Leave It There” was written by Charles Albert Tindley, an incredible guy who was not only a minister but also a pioneer in gospel music back in the early 1900s. What’s wild is how a song written over a century ago can hit so close to home today. It’s all about laying down your burdens and trusting that things will sort themselves out—something I think we all need to hear sometimes.
Every time I listen, it’s like a little reminder that I don’t have to carry the weight of the world on my shoulders. The lyrics encourage letting go and having faith, which feels both comforting and empowering. And the melody? It’s got this timeless vibe that just wraps around you.
What’s also cool is how this song has touched so many people over the years. Different artists have put their own spin on it, but the heart of the song—the message of trust and letting go—always shines through.
If you haven’t heard it yet, I think you’d really connect with it. Give it a listen when you get a chance; it might just be the breather you didn’t know you needed

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
