Lyrics

[verse]
The weight of guilt is a load
that bends my knees on the road
along the way (along the way)
to higher ground.(to higher ground)
If I could only just let it go.
My steps would be light I know.
I’m gonna lay (I’m gonna lay)
Lay’m down (I’ll lay’m down)

[chorus]
O won’t you take it Dear Lord
It’s not much a reward
for keeping me around.
If I could only please put’m there.
Place them in perfect care.
Let him hav’m. Leav’m.
Lay’m down.

[verse]
Of all the crowns we will get
I hope I never forget
All that Jesus (all that Jesus)
Does for me (he does for me)
O I’ve got plans for my diadem
I’m gonna give it to Him.
O yes I’ll lay’m (I will lay’m)
At his feet (Yes. At his feet)

[chorus]
O won’t you take it Dear Lord
It’s not much a reward
Thanks for keeping me around.
If I could only please put’m there.
Place them in perfect care.
Let him hav’m. Leav’m.
Lay’m down.
