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
