Cheri Keaggy - Lay It Down lyrics

If you are empty and have nothing to give You're discontented by the way that you live Or maybe you find it so hard to forgive Why don't you lay it down? If you have done something you'd like to forget If you have spoken words that turn in your head Why beat yourself up with the things of the past When you could lay them down Why don't you lay it down? 'Cause there's a source of help in every need There's a place to dwell down on your knees And if I could tell you how to find peace You've got to lay it down (That's right) If there are memories that are too hard to bear You open your heart and find bitterness there If you've been hurt so bad, you don't even care Why don't you lay it down? Why don't you lay it down? 'Cause there's a source of help in every need And there's a place to dwell down on your knees And if I could tell you how to be free You've got to lay it down It's things like pride and anger and bitter seeds They rob us of our freedom and keep us from peace But through things like love and patience and a forgiving heart That's where the healing can start God won't let go of your heart He won't let go of your heart He won't let go, no 'Cause there's a source of help in every need There's a place to dwell down on your knees, yeah And if I could tell you just one thing You've got to lay it down, come on, come on There's a source of help in every need There's a place to dwell down on your knees And if I could tell you how to find peace You've got to lay it down There's a source of help in every need There's a place to dwell down on your knees And if I could tell you how to find peace I tell you, you've got to lay it down Lay it down Lay it down
