I don't even know what a problem is
Somebody out there living scared cause of what the doctor said
Told them that they only had two months left, yeah
But I do believe the report of the Lord
Having faith with no fear
Let those miracles in
Sometimes in your life it's just a test
[?] supply your blessing
Though weapons will be formed
But they will not prosper
And every burden bear
Take and lay it on the altar
Whatever the problem [x4]
Lay it on the altar [x4]
Somebody out there needs to know
Cause their house is being foreclosed
Let it go, cause the Lord wants to open new doors
Tell the enemy everything he stole, he can keep
Cause my Father is rich-there's a mansion made for me
I gotta holy co-signer, unlimited Supplier
A generous Provider looking out for me
Just watch it all unfold
You have weapon, too
You got to stay strong
Get your reward!
Whatever the problem [x4]
Lay it on the altar [x4]
Whatever the problem [x4]
Lay it on the altar [x4]
Even though it seems you lost
There's Someone who paid the cost
Soon as you give Him [?]
Tragedies and problems solved
Yo, what's up? I don't even know what a problem is
All you gotta do is lay it down
Lay it down!
Whatever the problem [x4]
Lay it on the altar [x4]
