[Verse 1]
I come and I lay down my burdens
I know that I do not deserve it
But You took it all with Your purchase
So God I will search for Your purpose
I just wanna live for Your service
And I don't mean just on the surface, no
But I know I don't do it perfect
So I come to You when I'm hurtin'
[Pre-Chorus]
I have this pain
You alleviate it
I call on Your name
It's eliminated
And every weight that I hold to
It dissipates when I'm close to
[Chorus]
You
Every weight that I hold to
It dissipates when I'm close to
You
Everything that I hold to
It levitates when I'm close to You
Close to You
When I'm close to you
[Verse 2]
I've counted up the cost, I know
I cannot do it on my own
So Father I approach Your throne
Acknowledge You're my only hope
I give You my anxiety
And all the worry that's inside of me
In You alone I'm findin' peace
In You alone my mind's at ease
[Pre-Chorus]
I have this pain
You alleviate it
I call on Your name
It's eliminated
And every weight that I hold to
It dissipates when I'm close to
[Chorus]
You
Every weight that I hold to
It dissipates when I'm close to
You
Everything that I hold to
It levitates when I'm close to You
