BEAR MY LOAD
Words & Music by
Victor E. Mowery, 5-11-2015
Written for a Male
Quartet
I saw a man (I saw a man)
Baptizing by the sea.
He said “Repent!” (He said “Repent!”)
I hoped he’d set me free.
For I need someone (I need someone)
To take and bear my load.
John said, “Not I,” (John said, “Not I”)
“To Calvary you must go!”
Bear my load.
Bear my load.
I saw a man (I saw a man)
Carrying a heavy cross.
He strove and strained (He strove and strained)
Crawling up a dirty hill.
I asked his name. (I
asked his name.)
“Why do you want to know?”
For I need someone (I need someone)
To take and bear my load!
Bear my load.
Bear my load.
“His name is Simon.” (“Name
is Simon.”)
“He comes from old Cyrene.”
I knew right then (I knew right then)
He couldn’t bear my load for me.
Him they compelled, (Him they compelled)
But One will do it free.
For I need someone (I need someone)
To take and bear my load.
Bear my load.
Bear my load.
I saw a man (I saw a man)
Dying up on a hill.
He groaned and strained.
(He groaned and strained.)
Then it seemed that he was still.
I asked his crime. (I
asked his crime.)
“Why do you want to know?”
For I need someone (I need someone)
To take and bear my load!
Bear my load.
Bear my load.
“He’s just a thief!” (He’s
just a thief!)
“We need to break his knee!”
I knew right then (knew right then)
He couldn’t bear my load for me.
He died for him, (He died for him)
But One would die for me.
For I need someone (I need someone)
To take and bear my load.
Bear my load.
Bear my load.
I saw a man (I saw a man)
Walking on Emmaus road
I asked his work (I asked his work)
He said, “I came to seek and save!”
But I need someone (I need someone)
To take and bear my load.
He said, “I’VE BORNE
IT (YES, I’VE BORNE IT)
“I LEFT IT BURIED IN
MY GRAVE!”
He Bore My Load!
He Bore My Load!
