Verse 1

When the night comes, when you're all alone

When there's trouble stirring in your soul

And if your world is falling apart

Just hold on for the morning break to dawn


Chorus

Come and lay your burdens down

To the place where freedom is found

At the feet, at the feet of Jesus

Come and lay your burdens down


Verse 2

When the deepest sorrow weighs on your heart

When you've prayed for answers but the answers never come

For every tear that you cry

There's a promise He will make your burdens light


Chorus

Come and lay your burdens down

To the place where freedom is found

At the feet, at the feet of Jesus

Come and lay your burdens down


Oh, lay them down, ooh-ooh

Oh, lay them down, oh


Verse 3

When we see Him face to face

All our worries will surely fade away

In the presence of His glorious light

We'll sing hallelujah to the One who gave us life!


Chorus

Come and lay your burdens down

To the place where freedom is found

At the feet, at the feet of Jesus

Come and lay your burdens down

So come and lay your burdens down

To the place where freedom is found

At the feet, at the feet of Jesus

Come and lay your burdens down

Come and lay your burdens down
