Cast Your Burden On the Lord

"Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee..." Psalm 55:22 (KJV) “...yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands...” Isaiah 49:15, 16 (KJV) After several years of debating, I have now done a solo arrangement for this song. It was originally a choral only, meant to be accompanied on the organ. Since organ accompaniments don't work for some choirs, I have also included an adaptation for piano. The piano accompaniment for the solo version is somewhat different from the choral version.
