[Verse 1] I lay it down On that front-row rail Every Sunday morning Swear I’m done with this weight I feel I hear “come as you are” So I bring all my mess But on the drive back home It’s ridin’ shotgun in my chest (yeah) [Chorus] I try to leave my struggles at the altar But somehow they still end up on my back Walkin’ out the doors sayin’ I’m stronger By Monday I’m folded Under attack Lord I know Your grace can hold my sorrow Help me stop pickin’ up what I unpack I try to leave my struggles at the altar Why they always climb back on my back [Verse 2] Choir singin’ loud Got my hands held high Tears on my face Feelin’ lighter for a little while But when the bills come due And the noise comes fast That peace I felt Feels like it never really lasts (oh) [Chorus] I try to leave my struggles at the altar But somehow they still end up on my back Walkin’ out the doors sayin’ I’m stronger By Monday I’m folded Under attack Lord I know Your grace can hold my sorrow Help me stop pickin’ up what I unpack I try to leave my struggles at the altar Why they always climb back on my back [Bridge] Maybe it’s pride Maybe it’s fear Maybe I trust my pain More than I trust You here So take my hands When I turn around Don’t let me grab that weight again Just let it hit the ground (hey) [Chorus] I try to leave my struggles at the altar But somehow they still end up on my back Walkin’ out the doors sayin’ I’m stronger By Monday I’m folded Under attack Lord I know Your grace can hold my sorrow Teach my stubborn heart to not look back I’m gonna leave my struggles at the altar And let Your mercy carry what I can’t
