Lay It Down
by Ponder, Sykes & Wright

Album: Joy In The Camp

He betrayed her trust
In an hour of lust
Put his family ties on the line
A careless event
Given the consequence
Not to mention the weight on his mind
I was a secret well-kept
'Til he broke down and wept
And told her how bad he had been
With tears in his eyes
Much to his surprise
He watched as she reached out to him

She said, "I had a feeling all along
I knew there was something wrong
The burden is finally too heavy
To carry around
It's time to lay it down"

She had a darker side
It was easy to hide
Her shame in the shadows of night
She'd lost all control
Of her body and soul
Her vices were winning the fight
But someone she loved
Helped her seek from above
The light of God's glory and grace
And then as she prayed
Her chains fell away
As he wiped the tears from her face

He said, "I had a feeling all along
I knew there was something wrong
The burden is finally too heavy
To carry around
It's time to lay it down"

If you're living with heavy conviction
If you're crushed by a hidden condition
The Lord won't condemn
When you give it to Him
He will say...

"I had a feeling all along
I knew there was something wrong
The burden is finally too heavy
To carry around
It's time to lay it down"

Why don't you lay it down
It's time to lay it down
Lay it down
