Lay it Down
I lay it all down
All my pride, my selfish ways
I long for only good things
Pure things are only from You
I am Yours
You are mine
My heart confess, Jesus
I am Yours
You are mine
Our hearts combine
I live in this world
But there is nothing, nothing for me
But a life seeking You
And Your will and Your ways
Hold me close
My hope is in You, Jesus
All my joy
Is in Your promises
Who am I to argue Your Word?
Who am I to quarrel and fight?
Oh, when I know what’s right
Cause You’ve spoken
You gave it Your all
You gave it Your all, Jesus
You did the will of Your Father
You did the will of our Father
You did the will of our Father
So, I lay it all down
Cause You ask me to
To do Your will
Obey You
I am Yours
You are mine
My heart confess, Jesus
I am Yours
You are mine
Our hearts combine
I am Yours
You are mine
My heart confess, Jesus
I am Yours
You are mine
Our hearts combine
