Tried to do it on my own
But every time I tried I fell down
Got sick and tired of all the pain
I knew I had to turn my life around
Mama said you’d/he’d never leave
She said you’d always be right there for me
That’s when I laid my burdens down
I traded shame in for my crown
My soul was in the lost and found
Until I laid my burdens down
Now I live to testify
That Jesus’ blood was my lifeline
Just surrender to His plan
And He will make your life worth it
When you are weak is when He’s strong
I’ll tell the world wherever I go
That when I laid my burdens down
I traded shame in for my crown
My soul was in the lost and found
Until I laid my burdens down
That’s when I laid my burdens down
I traded shame in for my crown
My soul was in the lost and found
Until I laid my burdens down
Until I laid my burdens down
Until I laid my burdens down
Until I laid my burdens down
Friends don’t treat me like they used to
Used to
Since I laid my burdens down
Since I laid my burdens down
I feel better so much better
I feel better so much better
Since I laid my burdens down
Since I laid my burdens down
Burdens down, burdens down
Burdens down, burdens down
Since I laid my burdens down
Since I laid my burdens down
Burdens down, burdens down
Oh burdens down, oh burdens down
Since I laid my
Burdens down
I'm going home to live with Jesus
Since I laid my burdens down
Since I laid my burdens down
I'm going home to live with Jesus
Since I laid my burdens down
Since I laid my burdens down
Glory, glory
Hallelujah
Since I laid my burdens down
Since I laid my burdens down
Glory, glory
Hallelujah
Since I laid my burdens down
Since I laid my burdens down
Since I laid my burdens down
Down
Oh oh oh oh
Since I laid my burdens down
Down
Oh oh oh oh
Since I laid my burdens down
Down
