Intro:
C majorC FF C majorC A minorAm G+G C majorC
Verse 1:
C majorC C7C7
I carried the burden of sin for so long
FF DmDm G+G
life scarcely had meaning for me
FF C majorC A minorAm
a prisoner to satan and blinded by sin
C majorC G+G C majorC
believing I'd never be free
C majorC C7C7
In my desperation I called on the Lord
FF DmDm G+G
at an alter of prayer I prayed through
FF DmDm C majorC
the chains fell away like the darkness
A minorAm
at dawn
C majorC G+G C majorC
and he told me just what I must do
Chorus:
C majorC
I'll just lay it down and leave it,
C majorC C7C7
I'll lay it down and leave it,
FF DmDm G+G
I'll carry this burden no more
FF DmDm C majorC
the same hand that lifted the burden of
A minorAm
sin
C majorC G+G
will lead me on through Heaven's door
Verse 2:
C majorC
Bowed down is this body from cares of
C7C7
this life
FF DmDm G+G
and troubled so often with pain
FF DmDm C majorC
and all of the money I've made in this
A minorAm
life
C majorC G+G C majorC
could never my good health regain
C majorC C7C7
but it doesn't matter to me any more
FF DmDm G+G
for soon now this old house shall fall
FF DmDm C majorC
my glorified body shall rise from the
A minorAm
grave
C majorC G+G C majorC
at the sound of my dear Savior's call
Chorus:
C majorC
I'll just lay it down and leave it,
C majorC C7C7
I'll lay it down and leave it,
FF DmDm G+G
I'll carry this burden no more
FF DmDm C majorC
the same hand that lifted the burden of
A minorAm
sin
C majorC G+G
will lead me on through Heaven's door
