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
