🎵 TRACK 6 — WHEN I LAY IT DOWN Album: Where Heaven Meets My Heart Style: Cinematic Testimonial Rock · Female Vocal · Gentle Country Soft Rock **Verse 1** I've tried to hold the pieces together, Tried to make the broken things mend. I've carried tomorrow's troubles Before today's troubles could end. I've searched for answers in the silence, I've fought battles no one could see. But I'm tired of trying to be Everything You never asked of me. **Pre-Chorus** So here in this moment, With nothing left to prove, I'm opening my hands, Lord, And giving it all to You. **Chorus** When I lay it down, I can feel my soul breathe. When I lay it down, There's a peace falling over me. All the things I cannot change, All the fears I cannot tame, I don't have to carry them alone. When I lay it down, I'm coming home. **Verse 2** I don't know what tomorrow holds, I can't see around every bend. There are prayers still waiting for answers, And some wounds that still need to mend. But You've never asked me to see Every step before I begin. You just ask me to walk beside You, And trust that Your love will lead me again. **Pre-Chorus** So here in this moment, I don't need to understand. I'm letting go of what I cannot hold, And placing it into Your hands. **Chorus** When I lay it down, I can feel my soul breathe. When I lay it down, There's a peace falling over me. All the things I cannot change, All the fears I cannot tame, I don't have to carry them alone. When I lay it down, I'm coming home. **Bridge** Take the worry, take the waiting, Take the weight I've held so long. Take the questions without answers, Take the fear that something's wrong. I was never meant to be My own shelter in the storm. Jesus, I surrender now. In Your hands, I'm safe and warm. **Final Chorus** When I lay it down, I can finally breathe. When I lay it down, Your love is enough for me. All the things I cannot change, I release them in Your name. I don't have to face this world alone. When I lay it down, I'm coming home. **Outro** I don't have to know right now. I don't have to work it out. You'll be faithful through it all. Jesus, I surrender all. When I lay it down… I rest in You.
