Lay 'Em Down
~ Needtobreathe ~



~ Lyrics ~

Come down to the river
Come and let yourself in
Make good on a promise
To never hurt again
If you're lost and lonely
You're Broken down
Bring all of your troubles
Come lay 'em down

All you sinners
And the weak at heart
All you helpless
On the boulevards
Wherever you are now
Whatever evil you've found
Bring all of your troubles
And come lay 'em down

We're all tied to the same old failing
Finding shelter in things we know
We're all dirty like corrupted small towns
We'll bring our troubles
We'll bring our troubles
Lay 'em down

All you rich men
And the high above
All of those with and without love
All you burdened broken down
Bring all of your troubles
Come lay 'em down

Come lay 'em down [x4]

Come all you broken [Come lay 'em down]
Come all you helpless [Come lay 'em down]
Bring all your burden [Come lay 'em down]
And just lay 'em down [Come lay 'em down]

Come all you broken [Come lay 'em down]
Come all you helpless [Come lay 'em down]
Bring all your troubles [Come lay 'em down]
Just lay 'em down



Anyone who attends Music Matters (or Praise n Worship) is likely tired of hearing this song.....

I LUV IT!
oh I said I wouldn't keep sayin that... oops hmmm

First..... I cannot help but MOVE when I hear this song!

But, beyond the catchy beat, the words speak volumes too, if ya stop and ponder em...

ok I am fixin to quote the entire song! Just One verse....

"We're all tied to the same old failing
Finding shelter in things we know"

We ALL Fail, at one time or another... and we know it. Some will admit this, others will build a wall and pretend it ain't there.
And Yet, we still judge others... for that which we ourselves have done.

LOVE One Another Ain't ONE of us perfect...

I know I am sure FAR from perfect
But Thank You Lord for makin a way which no matter what, I do not deserve.


OK, Sorry! Just One More!
"Bring all of your Troubles and come Lay em down!"
Thank You for takin my crud
Ever get tired of carryin somethin? Like when you went to the grocery store and decided to carry all the bags at once, instead of makin two trips... runnin the last few steps to get to the "safety" of your kitchen floor, counter, table... to finally let it all go! Yet, we will carry the same hurt in our hearts for years and years thinkin... no body wants this, so Ima just hafta hold on to it..

Jesus is waiting.... waiting for YOU to trust Him and "lay 'em down"


Your Turn!

Luv ya!
