Lay It Down


Lay It Down

1. When your burdens

are too heavy

And it feels like

There’s no ending

There’s a lifeline

That will pull you through

When you’re crawling

in the desert

And you’re weak from

Lack of water

An oasis

Is waiting for you

You just have to choose

[Chorus]

To lay it down

Put it behind you

Stop holding on to all of the wrong

You’ve kept inside you

Yeah, you’ve been through the worst

You live and you learn

And you’ve learned what you need to for now

So lay it down

Lay it down

2. When you’re hurting

Trapped with sorrow

Just remember

There’s hope for tomorrow

And a work that

You’re needed to do

You just have to choose

[Chorus]

To lay it down

Put it behind you

Stop holding on to all of the wrong

You’ve kept inside you

Yeah, you’ve been through the worst

You live and you learn

And you’ve learned what you need to for now

So lay it down

Lay it down

3. You can be free

He will take all your chains

Of heartache and pain

If you leave them at His feet

[Chorus]

So lay it down

Put it behind you

Stop holding on to all of the wrong

You’ve kept inside you

Yeah, you’ve been through the worst

You live and you learn

And you’ve learned what you need to for now

[Chorus]

So lay it down

Put it behind you

Stop holding on to all of the wrong

You’ve kept inside you

Yeah, you’ve been through the worst

You live and you learn

And you’ve learned what you need to for now

So lay it down

Lay it down

So lay it down

Lay it down
