When I lay my burdens down
When I lay my burdens down some day
Recieve a crown that will never fade away
Tears are wiped from eyes, Hearts bleed no more inside.
When I lay my burdens some day
[Bass Solo:]
When I lay my burden down some day
I'll say hello to many friends of yesterday
[High solo:]
Oh, Heaven's gates will open wide, recieve me on the other side.
When I lay my burdens down some day
Long will be the tears of life I have long.
Joy will take their place. Into heaven I have flown.
So, up here I will stay and be faithful all the way
Till' I lay my burdens down someday.
