I took a long long walk by the river at a quite peaceful talk with my Lord

He found my heart heavy with troubles but our talk seemed to lighten my load

My Jesus has broad shoulders his back is stronger than mine

He was there the first time I called him he'll be there anyplace anytime

[ dobro ]

Now it's true that I've still got some troubles but since Jesus and I had our talk

I found peace of mind and contentment I'm so glad in his presence to walk

My Jesus has broad shoulders...

[ banjo ]

So I peek on the right road to heaven for the way that he showed me is clear

And no matter what happens tomorrow if I need him I know he'll be there

My Jesus has broad shoulders...
