I Lay My Burdens Down (Extended Version)
When thoughts of regret in me grow
And shame makes my soul go blind
When I think about tomorrow
Yesterday burdens my mind
I seek a place of healing
Not shaped by human kind
When Your presence is invading
My thoughts are re-defined
My thoughts are re-defined
I lay my burdens down
I lay my burdens down
Lifting hands, I bow down
I am free, I am found
I lay my burdens down
I lay my burdens down
Lifting hands, I bow down
I am free, I am found
I am free!
I am free!
When I only feel loneliness
And past mistakes blurring my mind
The future holds Your promise
While I seek what I left behind
I'll find this place of kindness
And grace from your sacrifice
When You reverse my blindness
My sight is re-defined
My sight is re-defined
I lay my burdens down
I lay my burdens down
Lifting hands, I bow down
I am free, I am found
I lay my burdens down
I lay my burdens down
Lifting hands, I bow down
I am free, I am found
I am free!
I am free!
Yes, I lift my eyes to Jesus
I stretch my arms out wide
My trust grows deeper, in You Jesus
In You I will abide
I lay my burdens down
I lay my burdens down
Lifting hands, I bow down
I am free, I am found
I lay my burdens down
I lay my burdens down
Lifting hands, I bow down
I am free, I am found
I am free!
I am free!
Free!
Free!
Free!
And shame makes my soul go blind
When I think about tomorrow
Yesterday burdens my mind
I seek a place of healing
Not shaped by human kind
When Your presence is invading
My thoughts are re-defined
My thoughts are re-defined
I lay my burdens down
I lay my burdens down
Lifting hands, I bow down
I am free, I am found
I lay my burdens down
I lay my burdens down
Lifting hands, I bow down
I am free, I am found
I am free!
I am free!
When I only feel loneliness
And past mistakes blurring my mind
The future holds Your promise
While I seek what I left behind
I'll find this place of kindness
And grace from your sacrifice
When You reverse my blindness
My sight is re-defined
My sight is re-defined
I lay my burdens down
I lay my burdens down
Lifting hands, I bow down
I am free, I am found
I lay my burdens down
I lay my burdens down
Lifting hands, I bow down
I am free, I am found
I am free!
I am free!
Yes, I lift my eyes to Jesus
I stretch my arms out wide
My trust grows deeper, in You Jesus
In You I will abide
I lay my burdens down
I lay my burdens down
Lifting hands, I bow down
I am free, I am found
I lay my burdens down
I lay my burdens down
Lifting hands, I bow down
I am free, I am found
I am free!
I am free!
Free!
Free!
Free!
