lyrics

Lord, into Your hands I commit my spirit and this wasted life
Lying on an unmade bed, I prematurely grieve tonight
The mail has stopped, the phone don't ring
We can't decipher hot from cold
We don't know anyone in this town
This loneliness is growing old

Lay your burdens, lay your burdens
Lay your burdens down

Where's the hill that help comes from
when friends are scarce and money's tight
I've seen the sunlight break on through but it's the middle of the night
Tearing clothes and rending hearts, we look for morn's new mercies
And wipe our tired eyes to find no view on the horizon

Lay your burdens, lay your burdens
Lay your burdens down
Lay your burdens, lay your burdens
Lay your burdens down

Down, down where you can't reach
It's not for you to know
It's not for you to handle everything

Did you hang the moon in place
Did you tell the stars to shine
Do you have such little faith
Did you forget that you were mine
Did you forget that you were mine

Lay your burdens, lay your burdens
Lay your burdens down
Lay your burdens, lay your burdens
Lay your burdens down
