Cast Your Cares On Me

Lyrics

Cast Your Cares On Me © 2005 Martha Ann Brooks (BMI) He’s been thinkin a lot about airplanes lately High in the sky with the clouds below Taking a trip just to get away Doesn’t care where; he just wants to go Everybody wants a piece of his time He says “Take a number and get in line” There’s not enough of him to go around Tryin’ to get ahead but he’s losing ground (Pre-Chorus) At night, he’s havin that same ol’ dream Dark fears are taking hold; there’s no escape it seems (Chorus) Then he looks straight ahead and sees a light And he hears a voice that brings him hope of a new life “I’ll direct your steps; I will supply all of your needs Cast your cares on Me I won’t forsake you I will never leave” She’s daydreamin about the ocean lately Watching the waves roll endlessly Wanting to find a calm place out there Quiet and warm with a salty breeze Everybody wants a piece of her time She swears some days she’s losin’ her mind Dawn to dusk she does a balancing act So scared of something falling through the cracks (Pre-Chorus) At night, she’s havin that same ol’ dream Dark fears are taking hold; there’s no escape it seems (Chorus) Then she looks straight ahead and sees a light And she hears a voice that brings her hope of a new life “I’ll direct your steps; I will supply all of your needs Cast your cares on Me I won’t forsake you I will never leave” (Pre-Chorus) Oh Lord if we will just look to you We ‘ll find the strength we need, enough to see us through (Chorus) If we’ll look straight ahead, we’ll see the light Then we’ll hear those words that give us hope of a new life “I’ll direct your steps; I will supply all of your needs Cast your cares on Me I won’t forsake you I will never leave” (Tag)Cast your cares on Me I won’t forsake you I will never leave”
