Lay It Down and Give It All

[Verse 1]
Been carryin’ this weight so long
Like a suitcase full of stones
Tryna fix it on my own
But my strength keeps runnin’ low
Knees hit the bedroom floor
Tears stain that old wood grain
Whisper
“Lord
I can’t no more”
And I hear You call my name
[Chorus]
Lay it down and give it all to Him
Every fear
Every secret sin
Every broken promise
Every scar within
Lay it down and give it all to Him (yeah)
Lay it down and give it all to Him
[Verse 2]
Mama’s prayers still in the air
Echo in that country pew
“Baby
God is always there
He’s just waitin’ there for you”
So I walk that aisle slow
Heart beatin’ in my chest
Lift my hands
Let it all go
Fall into His gentle rest (oh)
[Chorus]
Lay it down and give it all to Him
Every fear
Every secret sin
Every broken promise
Every scar within
Lay it down and give it all to Him (ooh)
Lay it down and give it all to Him
[Bridge]
What if the chains you feel
Are only in your mind?
He already broke them
Child
Left ’em at the cross behind
So bring your shame
Your doubt
He’s strong where you are weak
His mercy’s pourin’ out
Just open up and speak (come on now)
[Chorus]
Lay it down and give it all to Him
Every fear
Every secret sin
Every broken promise
Every scar within
Lay it down and give it all to Him
Lay it down and give it all to Him
[Chorus]
Lay it down and give it all to Him
All your hurt
Let the healing in
Let His holy river wash you clean again
Lay it down and give it all to Him (all to Him)
Lay it down and give it all to Him

Southern gospel choir with male lead vocals, warm Hammond organ and gently strummed acoustic guitar. Verses stay intimate with low piano and soft tambourine, then the chorus swells with full choir, handclaps, and a driving Sunday-morning groove. Dynamic key change on the final chorus, big ad-libbed runs, and a ringing held note to close the service., southern gospel
