All my sorrows weaken my weary soul
And this burden on my back will sink me lower than my grave
I am surrounded by quicksand
And the weight of the world will sink me lower than my grave
So i cry mercy, cause I need mercy
Can I lay my burden down

And all the sorrows that weaken my weary soul
And this burden on my back will sink me lower than my grave
But I am tasting living water on my tongue
You have set my feet on stone, you have made my footsteps firm
So i sing glory hallelujah since I laid my burden down

I need your mercy, I need your grace
I need your sunlight on my face
I need solid ground, I need to lay my burden down

Glory glory hallelujah since I laid my burden down
I am climbing Jacob's ladder since I laid my burden down
I'm goin home to live with Jesus since I laid my burden down
At the feet of my savior, since I laid my burden down
