Laying My Burdens Down

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some roads are smooth and some are steep Some prayers we whisper, some we keep Mama and Daddy held me near I had it all, no need to fear But I tried to fit where I didn't belong So I built my own way to carry on [Chorus] Lord, You gave me strength to stand When I couldn't see Your plan I forgave the ones who judged me wrong And You turned my hurting into song Now Danny's laying his burdens down Trading heavy work for higher ground [Verse 2] A quiet storm was in my blood I hid my heart, I hid it good They saw a smile and judged the rest Never knew the fire in my chest The ones who loved me lost their sleep Not sure if I was okay underneath [Chorus] Lord, You gave me strength to stand When I couldn't see Your plan I forgave the ones who judged me wrong And You turned my hurting into song Now Danny's laying his burdens down Trading heavy work for higher ground [Bridge] I was angry, Lord, I'll tell no lie Held it in and held my head up high But every lesson that brought me low Was planting seeds for me to grow [Verse 3] Now I'm older and I'm doing well Got a testimony I can tell I just need real ones by my side And the faith my loved ones planted inside Time to wind down, my season's here Stepping back with my heart sincere [Chorus] Lord, You gave me strength to stand Now I finally see Your plan I forgave the ones who judged me wrong You turned my hurting into song So Danny's laying his burdens down Walking easy on higher ground [Outro] Still working through, but I'm alright Courage carried me into the light Thank You, Lord, I made it through Hallelujah, my rest is due
