08. Burden Down

glory glory hallelujah

since I lay my burden down

glory glory hallelujah

since I lay my burden down

I'm gonna shake glad my tambourine

since I lay my burden down

I'm goin' home to live with Jesus

since I lay my burden down

my burden down, my burden down

since I lay my burden down

and I was searching the sand

I been searching the sands

with broken hands

indeed

I'm in need

for dark soil for the roots within my seed

now from the ground on down

on living water I feed

until the Son lifts me up and over

every strangled weed

up and over every strangled weed

with one word strike a nerve and disturb

speech slurred everybody stumbles on the curbs

with their visions blurred

but men reject truth when it's heard

saying that sounds too absurd

but you know what? that sounds absurd!

cause I'm sick of the lies

and I'm sick of the false

I bob my head to the beat

my heart beats with a pulse like a drum

it doesn't really matter where you're from

now that I'm a rebel on the run for the Son

I'm having little bit of fun in the battle that's begun

yet what's done is done

the war's already been won

oh yeah

another conundrum

like an unsolvable sum of math

I came into this world as a child of wrath

working my way down the twisted path

part of a parade that's so proud of the past

 that they never think to ask what lies ahead

until they're dead

I found a path not taken

and it filled me with dread

it threatened my world and my arrogant head

hungry as hell and my body was led

escaped from my shell and my spirit was fed

I crawled from the earth

as I was raised from the dead

by real love now

is what they all said

as I was raised from the dead

glory glory hallelujah

since I lay my burden down

glory glory hallelujah

since I lay my burden down

no more sittin' there in my sorrow

since I lay my burden down

I'm goin' home to live with Jesus

since I lay my burden down

glory glory hallelujah

since I lay my burden down

my burden down, my burden down
