Verse 1
The sun slips low beyond the trees,
Another day carried on its breeze,
Shoes by the door, quiet fills the room,
Echoes of laughter still lingering too.
Some things worked and some fell through,
Some prayers answered, some still in view,
But through it all, one thing I know—
I didn’t walk this road alone.
Pre-Chorus
So I exhale the weight I wore,
Leave it at Your steady door.
Chorus
I put my head down to rest tonight,
Heart still warm from borrowed light.
So much grace in the smallest things,
In simple words and daily blessings.
I may be tired, but my soul’s awake,
Counting mercies I didn’t make.
With grateful hands and peaceful sound,
I lay it all down… grateful.
Verse 2
Meals were shared and stories told,
Some seeds planted in hearts and souls,
A quiet “thank you,” a needed smile,
Moments that made the miles worthwhile.
I saw Your goodness in passing ways,
In ordinary, sacred days,
In open doors and steady friends,
In strength that met me at the end.
Pre-Chorus
Not every answer came my way,
But I’ve got more than enough today.
Chorus
So I put my head down to rest tonight,
Trusting You with morning’s light.
So much mercy in what was done,
Even in battles never won.
I may be weary in my bones,
But I’ve been carried, not alone.
With quiet joy that can’t be found
Anywhere else… I lay it down.
Bridge
Thank You for breath and daily bread,
For every path my footsteps led.
For lessons learned and love received,
For strength when I still believed.
If tomorrow comes, I’ll rise again,
But tonight I rest in where I’ve been.
Final Chorus
I put my head down to rest tonight,
No fear waiting in the quiet.
So much to treasure, so much to see,
A life that’s fuller than it used to be.
I may not have it all mapped out,
But gratitude has drowned my doubt.
With a faithful heart and settled ground,
I close my eyes… and lay it down.
Outro
Another day.
Another grace.
Another reason to give You praise.
I rest in peace, safe and sound—
Grateful… when I lay it down.
