I’ve been looking ‘til my eyes are tired of looking Listening ‘til my ears are numb from listening Praying ‘til my knees are sore from kneeling On the bedroom floor
I know that You know that my heart is aching I’m running out of tears and my will is breaking I don’t think that I can carry The burden of it anymore
All of my hopes and my dreams and my best laid plans Are slowly slipping through my folded hands
So I’m gonna lay it down I’m gonna learn to trust You now What else can I do Everything I am depends on You And if the sun don’t come back up I know Your love will be enough I’m gonna let it be, I’m gonna let it go I’m gonna lay it down
I’ve been walking through this world like I’m barely living Buried in the doubt of this hole I’ve been digging But You’re pulling me out and I’m finally breathing In the open air
This room may be dark but I’m finally seeing There’s a new ray of hope and now I’m believing That the past is the past and the future’s beginning to look brighter now
‘Cause all of my hopes and my dreams and my best laid plans Are safe and secure when I place them in Your hands
So I’m gonna lay it down I’m gonna learn to trust You now What else can I do Everything I am depends on You And if the sun don’t come back up I know Your love will be enough I’m gonna let it be, I’m gonna let it go I’m gonna lay it down
