"Lay It Down" lyrics

"Lay It Down"

Nobody ever thinks they'll be the one who sinks
Instead of walkin' when they step out of the boat
It's a leap of faith, not everyone makes it on their best try

But here I am again in over my head
Drowning underneath the weight of my pride
Finally realized I'm not gonna make it on my own

Hallelujah, I am broken, broken wide open
Hallelujah, I am emptied out, yeah
Hallelujah, I am nothing thank You for being my everything
I'm ready now to lay it down

I'm done keeping score of all the times I've fallen short
Cause now I'm falling to the foot of the cross
Yeah, You paid the cost to lift me up out of my shame

Hallelujah, I am broken, broken wide open
Hallelujah, I am emptied out, yeah
Hallelujah, I am nothing thank You for being my everything
I'm ready now to lay it down

All my burdens, all my cares, all my fears now
All my past, all my present, all my future now
My wife and kids and where we live in our small town
I'm laying it down, I'm laying it down
I've come alive, brought to life inside and out
I'm a new creation yeah, that's what I'm all about
With all my heart, all my soul, I will sing it loud
Yeah, I'm laying it down

Hallelujah, I am broken, broken wide open
Hallelujah, I am emptied out, yeah!
Hallelujah, I am nothing thank You for being my everything
I'm ready now...

I'm laying it down, down, down, down, down at the foot of the cross
I'm laying it down, down, down, down, down I once was lost
But now I'm found, found, found, found, found, oh, thank You Jesus!
I am found, found, found, found, found
I'm laying it down, down, down, down, down
I'm laying it down, down, down, down, down
