This traditional/spiritual was recently featured in the movie "Because of Winn-Dixie" and has also been done by several older blues/jazz musicians. However, I've been unable to find all the lyrics for it. Can you help? Thanks & Blessings!

More verses:

Sometimes I feel, I feel like shouting
Since I lay my burden down
Sometimes I feeal, I feel like shouting
Since I lay my burden down.

You can take the whole world, but give me Jesus
Since I lay my burden down
You can take the whole world, but give me Jesus
Since I lay my burden down

I decided to follow Jesus
when I laid my burdens down
Yes I decided to follow Jesus
when I laid my burdens down

I am climbing so much higher
SInce I laid my burdens down
Yes I'm climbing so much higher
Since I laid my burdens downs

Friends don't treat me like they used to since I laid my burdens down.
I'm gonna tell God how you treat me since I laid my burdens down.
