Lay It Down

Press Forward (2016), no. 8

Artist: Jonathan Meyers; Cera Pack

Arranger: Matt Nielsen

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
