Lay My Burden Down

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Been walkin' these miles Shoes full of stones and sand Letter in my pocket From a woman I don't understand Hands stained with the work Heart stained with a kind of shame Try to talk to heaven But I only say my own name [Pre-Chorus] Oh I'm tired of this road Tired of this fight If I fall on my knees Will You meet me tonight? [Chorus] I'm gonna lay my burden down Right here on this hard Cold ground (sing it now) If You can hear this broken sound Help me lay my burden down Choir Say "lay it" (Lay it!) Say "lay it" (Lay it!) Help me lay my burden down [Verse 2] Mama in the kitchen Singin' soft over boilin' pots Daddy left his ring In a drawer full of raffle shots I been drinkin' my courage From a bottle with a stranger's name But it don't wash away All this rust on my fading faith [Pre-Chorus] Oh I'm tired of this road Tired of this fight If I open my hands Will You hold 'em tonight? [Chorus] I'm gonna lay my burden down Right here on this hard Cold ground (oh, help me now) If You can hear this broken sound Help me lay my burden down Choir Say "lift it" (Lift it!) Say "take it" (Take it!) Help me lay my burden down [Bridge] [Call] Church Have you ever been lonely? [Response] (Been lonely) [Call] Ever cried 'til you ran out of tears? [Response] (Ran empty) [Call] I've been carryin' this sorrow so long Feels older than all my years [Response] (So long, so long) [Call] But if grace can find a fool like me [Response] (Like me) [Call] Then grace can find you too [Response] (Yes, it can, yes, it can) [Chorus] I'm gonna lay my burden down Right here on this hard Cold ground (right now, right now) If You can hear this broken sound Help me lay my burden down Choir Say "lay it" (Lay it!) Say "leave it" (Leave it!) Help me lay my burden down [Outro] [Call] One more time I'm gonna Lay my burden [Response] (Lay it down, lay it down) [Call] Lay my burden [Response] (Lay it down, lay it down) [Call] Lay my burden down…
