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
