Intro:
C F C Am   G C


Verse 1:
C                                    C7
I carried the burden of sin for so long
     F            Dm          G
life scarcely had meaning for me
F                       C          Am
a prisoner to satan and blinded by sin
C             G         C
believing I'd never be free
C                                    C7
In my desperation I called on the Lord
     F            Dm          G
at an alter of prayer I prayed through
     F            Dm          C
the chains fell away like the darkness
   Am
at dawn
C             G         C
and he told me just what I must do

Chorus:
C
I'll just lay it down and leave it,
C                          C7
I'll lay it down and leave it,
F               Dm        G
I'll carry this burden no more
F                  Dm          C
the same hand that lifted the burden of
Am
sin
C               G
will lead me on through Heaven's door


Verse 2:
C
Bowed down is this body from cares of
      C7
this life
     F            Dm       G
and troubled so often with pain
    F            Dm          C
and all of the money I've made in this
Am
life

C              G             C
could never my good health regain
C                                   C7
but it doesn't matter to me any more
     F            Dm              G
for soon now this old house shall fall
F            Dm          C
my glorified body shall rise from the
Am
grave
        C          G             C
at the sound of my dear Savior's call


Chorus:
C
I'll just lay it down and leave it,
C                          C7
I'll lay it down and leave it,
F               Dm        G
I'll carry this burden no more
F                  Dm          C
the same hand that lifted the burden of
Am
sin
C               G
will lead me on through Heaven's door
