Lay It Down

Album: The Dream (2014)

Appears on: WOW Hits 2015

## Lyrics

I know you have your problems

‘Cause everybody's got ‘em

If you get lost in your sorrows

Then you could hit rock bottom

But if you smile in face of trivial things

And you learn to pray when you wanna complain

Stand up straight when the Earth is shaking

And just breathing when you feel afraid

Oh, don't you know

(Chorus)

Those problems you're worried about

They can't keep you from living now

When you shake ‘em off and lay ‘em down, down, down

At the cross where your freedom's found

Oh You can stand up no matter what

March on when times are tough

Be strong and don't give up

All you need now

Is to shake ‘em off and lay ‘em down, down, down

At the cross where your freedom's found

We all have our seasons

When we get caught up in our feelings

And I know there's a time for laughter and a time for pain

A time for doubt and a time for faith

But when you believe you can find the strength

So get back up on your feet

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Lay it down, lay it down

Why you holding on so tight

Lay it down, lay it down

Oh, the freedom you will find

When you let go God will take over the fight

Lay it down, lay it down

Oh, just surrender

Lay it down, lay it down

And feel what it's like to be free again

(Chorus)

## Lyrics

Once upon a long night after a hard cry

Somewhere in Bethlehem

A baby graced the silence sweetly he's crying

I am Emmanuel

Then angels gave him music, shepherds gave reverence

And a message to the land

A widow held him cherish the God

Who became a man

(Chorus)

Oh Lamb of God

Oh Prince of Peace

What tribute shall I bring to worship thee?

I have no gold to lay at your feet

So Lamb of God I offer me

Can You see the wise men? A star did guide them

Searching all the earth

Till they found the one child the very godchild

Who ruled the universe

Did they know the lady's little baby

Was God in fully man

And everything they gave him he himself

Had made with his hands

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

I bring You all my hopes

I bring You all my dreams

I give You all my soul

My mind and all my strength

I wrap them all inside

My heart to give to the

And I come

O come let us adore Him

O come let us adore Him

O come let us adore Him, Christ

(Chorus)

I have no gold to lay at Your feet

So Lamb of God, please let me offer me

## Lyrics

Life was filled with guns and war

And all of us get trampled on the floor

I wish we'd all been ready

Children died the days grow cold

A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold

I wish we'd all been ready

(Chorus)

There's no time to change your mind

The Son has come and you've been left behind

A man and wife asleep in bed

She hears a noise and turns her head he's gone

I wish we'd all been ready

Two men walking up a hill

One disappears and one's left standing still

I wish we'd all been ready

(Chorus)

Children died the days grew cold

A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold

I wish we'd all been ready

(Chorus)

The Father spoke the demons died

How could you have been so blind

(Chorus)

I hope we'll all be ready you've been left behind (x3)

## Lyrics

I'm lost and broken all alone on this road

The wheels keep turning but the feeling is gone

When I fear I'm on my own

You remind me I am not alone

When You say

(Chorus)

I'd leave ninety-nine

Leave them all behind

To find You

For you alone I'd leave ninety-nine

Leave them all behind

To find You

It's dark and lonely and the path is unclear

Can't move my feet because I'm frozen with fear

And You say, my child, my child

I am always here, I'm at Your side

(Chorus)

You're never too far down

I promise you'll be found

I'll reach into the mud

The miry clay

Pursue you to the end

Like a faithful friend

Nothing in this world

Will keep me away

(Chorus)

To find you

## Lyrics

There was a time I truly believed

That I could do it on my own

But all that I found at the end of that road

Is that concept for me was all wrong

But I found a Savior who turned me around

And he placed his love on me

And I will trust in him

To yield my last heart beat

Some put their trust in earthly possessions

But in the end

It won't bring them through

I will not lean to my own understanding

But with my whole heart

Here's what I'll do

(Chorus 1)

I will trust

Trust in the name of The Lord

## Lyrics

Lost my luggage in Kalamazoo

Same way I tend to lose my conscience, too

Another day in these dirty old blues, and I don't seem to mind

This is a thing that confounds me

You can find me; You surround and remind me

I lose my way and I forget about You

But You still remember me

(Chorus)

Isn't it love?

The rain that falls on the sinner and the saint

Isn't it love?

The well that won't run dry

Isn't it love?

These mercies are made new every morning

And when I think about that prodigal son

I've got to smile when I see the old man run

And I know that You love us the same

'cause the sun came up today

Just as if we deserved it

Just as if every one of us fools was worth it

Truth is that we'll never be perfect, but You love us just the same

(Chorus)

Isn't it love to look down from the sky

And see Your only Son on the cross asking why

And somehow let Him die that way

And not call the whole thing off

All for a man here in Kalamazoo

Who loses his bags and his way sometimes too

But that was something that You already knew

And still You died for me

## Lyrics

(Chorus)

Just fight a little longer, my friend

It's all worth it in the end

But when you got nobody to turn to

Just hold on and I'll find you

I'll find you

I'll find you

Just hold on and I'll find you

I'm hangin' on by a thread

And all I'm clingin' to is prayers

And every breath is like a battle

I feel like I ain't come prepared

And death's knockin' on the front door

Pain's creepin' through the back

Fear's crawlin' through the windows

Waitin' for 'em to attack

They say "Don't get bitter, get better."

I'm workin' on switchin' them letters

But tell God I'ma need a whole lotta hope keepin' it together

I'm smilin' in everyone's face

I'm cryin' whenever they leave the room

They don't know the battle I face

They don't understand what I'm goin' through

(Pre-Chorus)

The world tryna play with my soul

I'm just tryna find where to go

I'm tryna remember the way

I'm tryna get back to my home

But I can't do this on my own

That's why I'm just trustin' in You

'Cause I don't know where else to go

And I don't know what else to go

(Chorus 2)

Just fight a little longer, my friend

It's all worth it in the end

But when you got nobody to turn to

Just hold on and I'll find you

Just fight a little longer, my friend

It's all worth it in the end

But when you got nobody to turn to

Just hold on and I'll find you

I'll find you

I'll find you

Just hold on and I'll find you

I'll find you

I'll find you

Just hold on and I'll find you

They say fear haunts and pain hates

I say pain strengthens and fear drives faith

And I don't know all of the outcomes

Don't know what happens tomorrow

But when that ocean of doubt comes

Don't let me drown in my sorrow

And don't let me stay at the bottom

I feel like this hole is too deep to climb

I've been lookin' for a way out

But I'll settle for a peace of mind

Pickin' up the pieces of my life

And hopin' that I'll put together somethin' right

Tell me all I got is all I need

Tell me you gon' help me stay and fight

(Pre-Chorus)

(Bridge)

No don't let the fear make you feel

Like you can't fight this on your own

You know I, I'll be there for you no matter where you go

You'll never be alone, no

## Lyrics

You can run. you can run. you can run

But there's no hiding place

You can't deny it. don't try to fight it

(Chorus)

We love you and there is nothing you can ever do about it

If you get off track, turn around and come right back

We love you and there is nothing you can ever do about it

If you lose your way, you still got a place to stay so

Touch somebody and

Find out that they understand

When you tell 'em what you been through

Who you are, what you had to do

Believe it when you hear them say

The god we serve has made a way

For you to lay your burden down

Rest and make a joyful sound

(Chorus)

Hug somebody now

Hold tight and just let it out

Somebody's gonna stand right here

Until you can move past your fear (or 'and wipe away every tear')

And if you need a friend

Don't wait outside. come on in

But even if you need some time

Don't rush. it will be alright because

(Chorus)

So just love. no fear

Love. no fear

Love. love. love. love. love

Ooh child you look like my sister on my father's side

Ooh child you look like my brother on my father's side

Not what You can give

But what I alone can

Give to You

A greatful heart I give

A thankful prayer I pray

A wild dance I dance before You

A loud song I sing

A huge bell I ring

A life of praise I live before You

Many men will pour their gold

And serve a thing that shines

Many men will read Your words

They will never change their minds

You can make it my brother

In you, I can be strong

About to lose my breath

There's no more fighting left

Sinking to rise no more

Searching for that open door

And every road that I've taken, mm

Led to my regret

And I don't know if I'm gon' make it

Nothing to do but lift my head

I need you to set me free

Take me far away from the battle

I need you

Shine on me

## Lyrics

If weakness is a wound that no one wants to speak of

Then "cool" is just how far we have to fall

I am not immune, I only want to be loved

But I feel safe behind the firewall

Can I lose my need impress?

If you want the truth I need to confess

(Chorus)

I'm not alright, I'm broken inside

Broken inside

And all I go through, it leads me to you

It leads me to you

Burn away the pride

Bring me to my weakness

'Til everything I hide behind is gone

And when I'm open wide with nothing left to cling to

Only you are there to lead me on

Cause honestly, I'm not that strong

(Chorus)

(Bridge x3)

And I'll move

And I'll move

And I'll move

Closer to you

And I'll move

And I'll move

And I'll move

(Chorus)

I'm not alright, I'm broken inside

Broken inside

I'm broken inside, broken inside

And all I go through leads me to you

Leads me to you

I'm not alright

I'm not alright

I'm not alright

That's why I need you

## Lyrics

In Christ alone my hope is found

He is my light, my strength, my song

This cornerstone, this solid ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease

My comforter, my all in all

Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone who took on flesh

Fullness of God in helpless babe

This gift of love and righteousness

Scorned by the ones He came to save

Till on that cross as Jesus died

The wrath of God was satisfied

For every sin on Him was laid

Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay

Light of the world by darkness slain

Then bursting forth in glorious day

Up from the grave He arose again

And as He stands in victory

Sin's curse has lost its grip on me

For I am His and He is mine

Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me

From life's first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand

Till He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

## Lyrics

Completely

I'm unmistakably broken

Little bit here, little bit there

Pieces scattered everywhere

Hopeless, sick in the heart

Battered, bruised, scared to move, afraid of the dark

Out of nowhere You, You come into view

Darkness has to back up. What else could it do?

(Chorus 1)

You are the, You are the light

And You're never going out

Never never going out

Everything changes, when You're in the room

Heart gets better, pieces come together

I can see forever

When You're in the room

(Chorus 2)

As I recall, chains fall

Praise comes breakin through

When You're in the room my hands go up

And I think about where I've been

Cause every time I let You in, Lord it's a win

So when You're in the room, don't leave

Cause I love Your company

Feels like heaven here with You

When You're in the room

Haven't said it enough, let me say it again

You've been so good Lord I'm grateful

Trying not to complain but sometimes I forget

Even when I'm a mess, You're still faithful

Out of nowhere You, You come into view

Got me all messed up cause that's what You do

(Chorus 1)

(Chorus 2)

That's an open invitation

There's no such thing as wearing out, you're welcome

I get comfortable

Everything is just right

You're the guest of honor in my life

When You're in the room

My heart gets better, pieces come together

I can see forever

When You're in the room

(Chorus 2)

Come on in, You're welcome

God I love it

When You're in the room

Makes everything better, every time we're together

Dwell with me, please

Cause there's no other place I'd rather be

I really love Your company!

## Lyrics

Truth is harder than a lie

The dark seems safer than the light

And everyone has a heart that loves to hide

I'm a mess and so are you

We've built walls nobody can get through

Yeah, it may be hard, but the best thing we could ever do, ever do

(Chorus)

Bring your brokenness, and I'll bring mine

'Cause love can heal what hurt divides

And mercy's waiting on the other side

If we're honest, If we're honest

Don't pretend to be, something that you're not

Living life, afraid of getting caught

There is freedom found, when we lay our secrets down

At the cross, at the cross

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

It would change our lives

It would set us free

It's what we need to be

(Chorus)

If we’re honest

## Lyrics

Born to give my very best

To the One whose willingness

To give His life He just said yes

And here's the reason

He saw me out there all alone

So for my sin He did atone

He purchased me I'm not my own

I wanna please Him

So now I serve Him

Who brought me and is able to keep me all together

In the presence of His glory I found

That for my life His good and perfect purpose was designed

To bring me to the place where He has need of me

So I want my destiny, yeah

(Chorus)

Can't settle for half or nothing short

Of what You made me to be or want me to be

'Cause I want it all

As I look around

The time is now

My mind is telling me

Gotta be gotta be destiny

Not called to sit upon the shelf

He did not die just for His health

And with the time we have

Let's waste not all on selfish reasons

But we must seek to please Him first

Find His will upon the Earth

When they look back from death to birth

They'll say they've seen Him

So we must serve Him

Who brought us and is able to keep us all together

In the presence of His glory we found

That for our lives His good and perfect purpose was designed

To bring us to the place where He needs us to be

Do you want your destiny, come on

(Chorus)

Hold on don't let go

To give up now would be jacked up for sure

The journey is long and hard is the fight

But we trust in the Lord in the power of His might

There's power in His Word

And He's gonna see us through

So keepin' the faith is what we've gotta do

To believe our God is more than able, able

(Bridge)

Fight the good fight as we press towards the mark we push in

That we obtain His favor

So we will know and have true confidence that, the prize

Of His call is much greater

Say I really want my destiny come one say

I want it

(Vamp)

I want it

Receive it

I need it

The will of God for my life, yeah

Gotta have it

Can't live without it

No doubt about it

The will of God for me, yeah, yeah, yeah

## Lyrics

(Chorus)

I wish you could see me now

I wish I could show you how

I'm not who I was

I used to be mad at you

A little on the hurt side too

But I'm not who I was

I found my way around

To forgiving you some time ago

But I never got to tell you

So...

I found us in a photograph

I saw me and I had to laugh

You know, I'm not who I was

You were there, you were right above me

And I wondered if you ever loved me

Just for who I was

When the pain came back again

Like a bitter friend

It was all that I could do

To keep myself from blaming you

(Chorus)

Thinkin' it's a funny thing

Figured out I could sing

Now I'm not who I was

Write about love and such

Maybe 'cause I want it so much

I'm not who I was

I was thinkin' maybe I

Should let you know

That I am not the same

That I never did forget your name

Hello

(Bridge)

And the thing I find most amazing

An amazing grace

Is the chance to give it out

Maybe that's what love is all about

I wish you could see me now

I wish I could show you how

I'm not who I was

## Lyrics

Strangely out of place

There's a light filling this room where none would follow before

I can't deny it burns me up inside

I fan the flames to melt away my pride

Do I want shelter from the rain or the rain to wash me away?

(Chorus)

I need you, I need you, I need you

I need you, I need you, I need you

You're all I'm living for

I might sound like a fool, but I think I felt you moving closer to me

Face to the ground to hide the fatal cut

I fight the weight, I feel You lift me up

You are the shelter from the rain and the rain to wash me away

(Chorus)

I need you, I need you, I need you

I need you, I need you, I need you

(You're all I'm living for)

I need you, I need you, I need you

You're all I'm living for (all I'm living for)

All I'm living for (all I'm living for)

You're all I'm living for

(Bridge)

Face to the ground to hide the fatal cut

I fight the weight, feel You lift me up

I can't deny it burns me up inside

I fan the flames to melt away my pride

Only have a second to spare

But all the time in the world to know you're there

You are the shelter from the rain and the rain to wash me away

(Chorus)

I need you, I need you, I need you (all I'm living for)

I need you, I need you, I need you (all I'm living for)

I need you, I need you, I need you

You're all I'm living for (all I'm living for)

All I'm living for (all I'm living for)

I've got got the joy of the Lord, living inside of me

Now I can be what I want to be

Doctor, lawyer, maybe even president

Who showed me through many African American

By His grace I've come a long way

That same grace helped me see another day

Now I live through it, walk to it

But don't let nothing stop you from doing it

Keep your faith and never ever cease to pray

My God has always laid the way

The road is rough and the going gets tough

But that's alright, I had just about enough

I ain't gonna ever ever give up

Because I am a true survivor

There were times when I was going through

In the midst of my storms, didn′t know what to do

Even though I was down, the Lord taught me to realize

I never would have made it without You in my life

No, I never would have made it without You in my life

(Chorus)

Thank You for the storms I had in my life

Thank You for the times

(That You helped me win this fight)

Even though I was down, it taught me to realize

I never would have made it without You in my life

I never would have made it without You in my life

Lord, You said my trials come to make me strong

There were times I got weary, but You held me in Your arms

Even though I was down, it taught me to realize

I never would have made it without You in my life

I never would have made it without You in my life

(Chorus)

Through the storm, through the rain

(The Lord, don't you know),

(Jesus stayed) stayed the same

(When I was going though),

(He told me the battle is not yours)

It belongs to the Lord

Because of low self esteem

The power of life and death is in the tone

Speak life over yourself and those you love

May God bless your spirit

By His word be made whole

Fight for your life, you shall live and not die

I've lost some good friends along life's way

Some loved ones departed in heaven to stay

But thank God I didn't lose everything

I've lost faith in people who said they cared

In time of my crisis they were never there

But in my disappointment, in my season of pain

One thing never wavered, one thing never changed

(Chorus)

I never lost my hope

I never lost my joy

I never lost my faith

But most of all, I never lost my praise

My praise still here

My praise still here

I've let some blessings slip away

When I lost my focus and went astray

But thank God I didn't lose everything

I lost possessions that were so dear

I lost some battles walking in fear

But in the midst of my struggles, in my season of pain

One thing never wavered, one thing never changed

Praise, Praise, Praise, Praise, Praise

Most of all, I never lost my praise

My praise still here

My praise still here
