Why should I worry
Why should I be afraid
Freedom's calling me
To another place
God is waiting
With arms opened wide
Please don't carry
All that guilt & shame
Give it over
He'll take it away
Joy is waiting
Put that weight aside
He's never failed ya
He never will
It's not in his nature
He has something greater
So cast your cares
On the one who cares for you
All your burdens
All your cares
If its heavy
Come & lay it down
Altar's open
Leave it there
Joy is waiting
Come & lay it down
Please don't carry
All that guilt & shame
Give it over
He'll take it away
Joy is waiting
Put that weight aside
He's never failed ya
He never will
Its not in his nature
He has something greater
He's never failed ya
He never will
Its not in his nature
My God is more than able
So cast your cares on him
All your burdens
All your cares
If its heavy
Come & lay it down
Altar's open
Leave it there
Joy is waiting
Come & lay it down
God is faithful
He is able
He can handle
Every problem
Bring your burdens
To the altar
There's an answer
Come & lay it down
God is faithful
He is able
He can handle
Every problem
Bring your burdens
To the altar
There's an answer
Come & lay it down
God is faithful
He is able
He can handle
Every problem
Bring your burdens
To the altar
There's an answer
Come & lay it down
All your burdens
All your cares
If its heavy
Come & lay it down
Altar's open
Leave it there
Joy is waiting
Come & lay it down
God is faithful
He is able
He can handle
Every problem
Bring your burdens
To the altar
There's an answer
Come & lay it down
Come & lay it down
Come & lay it down
Come & lay it down
Come & lay it down
Come & lay it down
Come & lay it down
Come & lay it down
Come & lay it down
Come & lay it down
You can come & lay it down
You can come & lay it down
Come & lay it down
Come & lay it down
Come & lay it down
Come & lay it down
Come & lay it down...
