I
IF I COULD ONLY LAY DOWN,
THESE BURDENS AND COME HOME
CAUSE LORD I KNOW YOU'VE BUILT FOR ME
SOMEWHERE A BRAND NEW HOME.
AND LORD I KNOW YOU'VE REALLY CARED
FOR ME DOWN HERE BELOW.
SO I'LL JUST CARRY THESE BURDENS LORD
BENEATH THIS HEAVY LOAD.
II
THIS LIFE IS SOMETIMES LONELY
AS I WALK THROUGH THIS DARK PLACE
BUT I MUST FIGHT MY BATTLE
TO EVER WIN THIS RACE.
BUT I KNOW THAT JESUS LOVES ME
AND I KNOW THAT HE STILL CARES
AND WHEN I GET TO HEAVEN
HE'LL WIPE AWAY ME TEARS.
CHORUS
CAUSE SOME MORNING YONDER
I'M GONNA SIT DOWN BY YOUR SIDE
THEY'LL NEVER BE ANOTHER TEAR
TO RUN DOWN FROM MY EYES.
AND THERE WE'LL TALK THINGS OVER
LIKE WE NEVER HAVE BEFORE.
THEN WE'LL STROLL DOWN THE STREET OF GLORY
AND WALK BY THE PEACEFUL SHORE.
