I Lay Me Down

I’ve been running on empty for a while now

Smiling through the cracks, but I’m tired somehow

I carry the weight of the ones I love

Trying to be strong, trying to be enough

I give everything till there’s nothing left

Pour my whole heart out, forget myself

I know how to worship, I know how to pray

But peace feels so far away

Pre-Chorus

I don’t know how to fix this

I don’t know how to stand

But I know where to fall now

I’m letting go again

Chorus

So I lay it all down at Your feet

All the hurt in me, all the history

I don’t have the answers, I don’t understand

But my life is safe in Your hands

I’ve been lost, I’ve been broken, worn out within

But I find my rest when I fall into Him

So I lay it all down

I lay it all down

Verse 2

I’ve been strong for everyone else

But I don’t know how to save myself

I’ve been holding pieces together with prayer

Wondering if You see me standing here

I’ve been faithful even when I’m weak

Still singing hope when I can barely breathe

If You’re near, then come close now

I need You here, I need You now

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need a miracle

I don’t need a sign

I just need Your presence

To meet me in this fight

Chorus

So I lay it all down at Your feet

All the hurt in me, all the history

I don’t have the answers, I don’t understand

But my life is safe in Your hands

I’ve been lost, I’ve been broken, worn out within

But I find my rest when I fall into Him

So I lay it all down

I lay it all down

Bridge (slow build – repeat, let it breathe)

I don’t have to hold it together

I don’t have to be okay

I can bring You all my pieces

And You won’t turn me away

You are patient, You are gentle

You are steady when I’m not

You don’t shame my weakness

You meet me where I am, God

Bridge (bigger – choir style)

I’m not failing, I’m surrendering

I’m not lost, I’m finally found

I was never meant to carry this

You’ve been carrying me all along

Tag (repeat, anthem)

You’ve been carrying me

You’ve been carrying me

Chorus (final – full band)

So I lay it all down at Your feet

Every fear in me, every memory

I don’t have the answers, I don’t understand

But my life is safe in Your hands

I was lost, I was broken, worn out within

But I found my rest when I fell into Him

So I lay it all down

I lay it all down

Outro (soft, stripped)

Here I am, Jesus

Nothing left to hide

Just a tired heart

Finding home tonight
