Lay It Down

Jaci Velasquez


Tom: G

G
I've been lookin' till my eyes are tired of lookin'
C
Listenin' till my ears are numb from listenin'
G
Prayin' till my knees are sore from kneelin' on the bedroom floor
C
I know that you know that my heart is achin'
G
I'm running out of tears and my will is breakin'
C
I don't think that I can carry the burden of it anymore


[Pre-Chorus 1]
C                                              G
All of my hopes and my dreams and my best laid plans
C                                 D
Are slowly slippin' through my folded hands


[Chorus]
             G        D
So I'm gonna lay it down
                    Em        D
I'm gonna learn to trust You now
                C
What else can I do
             G             D
Everything I am depends on You
                       G        D
And if the sun don't come back up
                       Em     D
I know Your love will be enough
                 C                    D
I'm gonna let it be, I'm gonna let it go
                   G
I'm gonna lay it down


[Verse 2]
G
I've been walkin' through this world like I'm barely livin'
C
Buried in the doubt of this hole I've been diggin'
G
But You're pullin' me out
C
I'm finally breathin' in the open air
G
This room may be dark but I'm finally seein'
C
There's a new ray of hope, and now I'm believin'
G
That the past is past, and the future's beginning to look brighter now


[Pre-Chorus 1]
C                                              G
All of my hopes and my dreams and my best laid plans
C                                 D
Are slowly slippin' through my folded hands


[Chorus]
             G        D
So I'm gonna lay it down
                    Em        D
I'm gonna learn to trust You now
                C
What else can I do
             G             D
Everything I am depends on You
                       G        D
And if the sun don't come back up
                       Em     D
I know Your love will be enough
                 C                    D
I'm gonna let it be, I'm gonna let it go
                   G
I'm gonna lay it down
C
I'm gonna lay it down
  D
I'm gonna lay it down
G
I'm gonna lay it down
