I wanted to make a video about the last 5 months of ministry but also to raise awareness that I still need support. Early this morning I woke up with a song on my heart. I wrote down the words and went back to bed. I decided hey why not use this song for my video, so here it is. It’s very poor quality. Also, this is truly my attempt to play guitar. So I am sorry, I tried my best. But I hope you enjoy. Here are the lyrics for the song.
Lay It Down
V1.
My life was once empty
Consumed with selfish living
Every part of me cried out
Don’t want to live like this anymore
Sorrow was my name
Until I met Christ that day
Now I’m forever change
I can’t look back I must
Run the race
C.
I give you my heart
I give you my soul
To you I surrender all
I give you my dreams
I give you my, everything
Can’t hold back, I must surrender all
V2.
I will forever run
Into the arms of love
I will not stop
Until your grace falls like rain
I will not be silent
Your words will not part from my lips
Your love has broken the darkness
Lifted me out of the pit
Bridge.
I lay it downx3
For the sake of more
