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
  
  
    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
  
  
    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
  
  
    You can be free
    He will take all your chains
    Of heartache and pain
    If you leave them at His feet
  
  
    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
    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
