I Lay It Down
The weight of the world
It feels like mountains
But You move mountains
Yes, You do
To those who are thirsty
You're a fountain
And living water
It flows from You
I got your invitation
That You could set me free
I can't believe You'd do that for me
You say Your yoke is easy
You say Your burden's light
You take a soul that's weary
Give comfort every time
And when my heart is heavy
I know without a doubt
There's nothing You won't carry
So, oh Lord, I lay it down
I lay, I lay it down
I lay, I lay it down
Oh Lord, I lay it down
The Devil he knows
He can't touch me
'Cause Lord, You bought me
With Your blood
Oh, the guilt and the shame
They roll right off me
'Til all I carry
Is your love
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
You say Your yoke is easy
You say Your burden's light
You take a soul that's weary
Give comfort every time
And when my heart is heavy
I know without a doubt
There's nothing You won't carry
So, oh Lord, I lay it down
I lay, I lay it down
I lay, I lay it down
Oh, Lord (I lay it down)
I lay, I lay it down
I lay, I lay it down
Oh Lord, I lay down
What could I do if my hands were open?
Who could I be if I was really free?
What if I trusted what You have spoken?
What could it change if I believed?
What could I do if my hands were open?
Who could I be if I was really free?
What if I trusted what You have spoken?
What could it change if I believed? Yeah!
You say Your yoke is easy
You say Your burden's light
You take a soul that's weary
Give comfort every time (every time)
And when my heart is heavy
I know without a doubt
There's nothing You won't carry
So, oh Lord, I lay it down
(I lay) I lay it down
(I lay, I lay it down) I lay it down
Oh Lord, I lay it down
(I lay, I lay it down) oh-oh
(I lay, I lay it down)
(Oh Lord, I lay it down) when my heart is heavy
Lord (I lay, I lay it down), I lay it down
(I lay, I lay it down)
(Oh Lord, I lay it down) I lay it down
(I lay, I lay it down)
(I lay, I lay it down)
(Oh Lord, I lay it down)
You say Your burden's light
You take a soul that's weary
Give comfort every time
And when my heart is heavy
I know without a doubt
There's nothing You won't carry, Lord
So, I lay it down
It feels like mountains
But You move mountains
Yes, You do
To those who are thirsty
You're a fountain
And living water
It flows from You
I got your invitation
That You could set me free
I can't believe You'd do that for me
You say Your yoke is easy
You say Your burden's light
You take a soul that's weary
Give comfort every time
And when my heart is heavy
I know without a doubt
There's nothing You won't carry
So, oh Lord, I lay it down
I lay, I lay it down
I lay, I lay it down
Oh Lord, I lay it down
The Devil he knows
He can't touch me
'Cause Lord, You bought me
With Your blood
Oh, the guilt and the shame
They roll right off me
'Til all I carry
Is your love
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
You say Your yoke is easy
You say Your burden's light
You take a soul that's weary
Give comfort every time
And when my heart is heavy
I know without a doubt
There's nothing You won't carry
So, oh Lord, I lay it down
I lay, I lay it down
I lay, I lay it down
Oh, Lord (I lay it down)
I lay, I lay it down
I lay, I lay it down
Oh Lord, I lay down
What could I do if my hands were open?
Who could I be if I was really free?
What if I trusted what You have spoken?

Oh Lord, I lay it down
(I lay, I lay it down) oh-oh
(I lay, I lay it down)
(Oh Lord, I lay it down) when my heart is heavy
Lord (I lay, I lay it down), I lay it down
(I lay, I lay it down)
(Oh Lord, I lay it down) I lay it down
(I lay, I lay it down)
(I lay, I lay it down)
(Oh Lord, I lay it down)
You say Your burden's light
You take a soul that's weary
Give comfort every time
And when my heart is heavy
I know without a doubt
There's nothing You won't carry, Lord
So, I lay it down
