Lay It Down

[Verse 1]
Yeah
And I got a homie, wants to go out to a people group
That's barely reached with truth
And tell 'em the deal, and let em know that He's real
That Jesus is who they need to choose
That He's the King of every living thing that breathes and moves
Tell 'em repent and believe and hope he sees the fruit
I'm really hoping that You see him through
He knows You're awesome and he wants those cats to see it too And your bible blesses that, and says those feet are beautiful, true
Don't need a screen or a stage, he's down to serve in private
You save your life you'll lose it, but in reverse you'll find it
And you can tell by how the fire burning in his eyes is
He wants to give it all for Christ, oh yeah, he's burdened by it
And he ain't fooled by all the comforts here to stay around
His eye is on the prize
He wants the greater crown
He told me Jesus ain't just save us just to play around
He gave us life so we could lay it down, lay it down

[Hook 1]
So lay it down, yeah, yeah, lay it down
So lay it down, yeah, yeah, lay it down
Jesus ain't just save us just to play around
He gave us life so we could lay it down, lay it down
So lay it down, yeah, yeah, lay it down
So lay it down, yeah, yeah, lay it down
Jesus ain't just save us just to play around
He gave us life so we could lay it down, lay it down

[Verse 2]
I see it's got you caught, it's dangerous and sweet
It's snagging up your legs, entangling your feet
That sin you're feasting on has numbed your heart
You want to run to God
But now it hinders you from running hard
The Lord, He sees your bondage
He's got the secret knowledge
Of everything you want to try and hide and keep in darkness
If you've been raised with Christ then
Why would you bring dishonor?
When you return just like a dog returns to eat its vomit
Ah, you need to stop it
Come to the King and drop it
He'll wash you with His blood
And clean your evil conscience
He said we'll be his sons
He said we'll be His daughters
So let's complete our holiness as we believe his promise
Come to the rugged cross
You know there's grace for you
He causes saints to mourn
And burdened them to pray for you
Cause though your sin is massive grace abounds
For you to slay it now
So family take your sin and lay it down

[Hook 2]
So lay it down, yeah, yeah, lay it down
So lay it down, yeah, yeah, lay it down
Cause though your sin is massive grace abounds
For you to slay it now
So family take your sin and lay it down
So lay it down, yeah, yeah, lay it down
So lay it down, yeah, yeah, lay it down
Cause though your sin is massive grace abounds
For you to slay it now
So family take your sin and lay it down

[Verse 3]
Remember at the table? He had the bread and wine
Disciples all around soon headed out to die
And why? Well, Isaiah prophesied
Somebody had to catch it just to get us off the line
He shared the broken bread
And shared the crimson drink
Said it's His blood and body
Now let the picture sink
Just think, that Christ would sacrifice the Lamb cause
The Son of Man was, sent to be a ransom
How kind a Lord is He?
Died to restore the weak
Our Shepherd gave His life and supplied it for the sheep
Surely he took our sins
Surely He bore our grief
On Him was laid the chastisement that has brought us peace
They mocked Him as He hung
They saw the shame was foul
What type of Lord is this that just a cross could take Him out?
They missed it, the very phrase from out our Savior's mouth
Nobody takes his life, but see He lays it down
