Cares Chorus · Kelly Willard

A truly beautiful and memorable song of dependence and surrender. This is a song that will drop down in your heart and never leave you. If you appreciate it as much as I do, why not support Kelly's music by buying a track or an album?

"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."
I Peter 5:7 (NIV)

From the 1979 album: Blame It On The One I Love

Lyrics:
I cast all my cares upon you
I lay all of my burdens down at your feet
And anytime that I don't know what to do
I will cast all my cares upon you

Kelly Willard's songs have calmed my spirit since 1979

Such a 🌸sweet lady!!! Had the privilege of breaking bread together with this humble lady, back in the 80's.☺️ Forever her music ministers to my heart.📿

Love this song! Hadn't heard it in a long time, but one night, while wrestling with some cares, this song dropped into my soul and I was instantly calmed. God is so very good!

[katerinalove]

Love this. I find myself singing it during the day. How blessed are we to have a Father we can go to when we are lost. I lay all my cares at His feet as He reigns from His throne. Nothing is more beautiful than that.

[EarleHartshorn]

One of my favorite prayers, and one that has carried me thru several rough spots in my life.

[caseybarry]

Wonderful…brings me to tears….Amen! with the above comment!

I taught an adult Sunday School lesson this morning on the topic of "Handling Stress in our Life" from Philippians 4:4-9 and God's plan for us to Rejoice, Pray, Think. I ended the lesson with this simple, yet very applicable, chorus. Thank you!

Kelly Willard's choruses sung so beautifully fed and soothed my soul back in the 1970's when she first became known for her inspirational compositions and a few days ago when I was reading Psalm 139, I remembered this anointed scripture song and the Holy Spirit through her singing ministered hope and peace to my soul at a time when my life journey was soo daunting and complex!!

Thanks for posting this wonderful song! 1978 is a very special year for me!(and all of the great CCM that came from that year!)..God Bless!☺♥

Absolutely stunning arrangement. I love Kelly, but also the oboe and strings make this song so memorable.

[icgold]

[EKBruhn]

Nice song. I had never heard before but was preparing to play it for church tomorrow. what a blessing to hear.

[dustykiddo]

Wow, such a beautiful song. I would be perfect for a harmonica to play along with it too!

[SpohuraFan]

Anointed and beautiful.  Would you consider uploading a remix with the verses and  chorus:  We used to sing this in our church in the 70's. It is amazing how it is again being used by God!  The first part of this video by Grace Larson shows how the verses sound:  I Cast All My Cares Upon you - Grace Larson
  Keep singing for Jesus!!

Verse 1
When my cross is too heavy to carry,
When trials they’re too hard to bear,
I will lift my eyes to mount Calvary, where he died.
Lord I leave every burden there.
 
Chorus
I cast all my cares upon You,
I lay all of my burdens down at Your feet.
And any time - I don't know - just what to do,
I will cast all my cares upon You.
 
Verse 2
You can give every heartache to Jesus.
He’s a faithful, compassionate friend.
He’s the Master and Savior, the healer that you’ve prayed for,
Just look to Mount Calvary and say, and say:

Chorus
I cast all my cares upon You,
I lay all of my burdens down at Your feet.
And any time - I don't know - just what to do,
I will cast all my cares upon You.
