[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
