TAKE ME BACK

I don't love you like I used to
When nothing came between my God and me
And somehow it seems I've lessened my dependence
And wonder why it's not the way it used to be

But I'm ready to learn how to faithfully love you
With my heart, my soul, and my mind
Take me back
To the time I fell in love.


I don't serve you like I used to
'cause I'm too busy serving me
And I don't spend the time with you I need to
And wonder why my soul cannot find peace

But I'm ready to learn how to faithfully serve you
With my hands, my life, and my time
Take me back
To the time I fell in love

I don't love you like I used to
When nothing came between my God and me

But I'm ready to learn how to faithfully love you
With my heart, my soul, and my mind

Take me back to
The time I fell in love

LAY IT DOWN

I've been looking till my eyes are tired of looking

Listening till my ears are numb from listening

Praying till my knees are sore from kneeling on the bedroom floor

I know that you know that my heart is aching

I'm running out of tears and my will is breaking

I don't think that I can carry the burden of it any more

All of my hopes and my dreams and my best laid plans,

Are slowly slipping through my folded hands



So I'm going to lay it down

I'm going to learn to trust You now

What else can I do

Everything I am depends on You

And if the sun don't come back up

I know Your love would be enough

I'm going to let it be, I'm going to let it go,

I'm going to lay it down.



I've been walking through this world like I'm barely living

Buried in the doubt of this hole I've been digging

But You're pulling me out

I'm finally breathing in the open air

Oh, This room may be dark but I'm finally seeing

There's a new ray of hope, and now I'm believing

That the past is past, and the future's beginning to look brighter now

Oh, cause all of my hopes and my dreams and my best laid plans

Are safe and secure when I place them in Your hands



So I'm going to lay it down

I'm going to learn to trust You now

Oh what more can I do,

Everything I am depends on You

And if the sun don't come back up

You know Your love will be enough

I've got to let it be, I've got to let it go,

I've got to lay it down

I WILL BE HERE!

I will wait for you
