Name: Lay It All Down
Duration: P00H05M15S
Description: This is the oldest song on the record. I’ve been leading this in worship for years and never had the chance to record it. It fit the feel and theme of the album so I decided to include it. It’s a simple prayer. Years ago when I wrote this song I had no idea the “ALL” that I would need to give Him one day.

lyrics

I lay it down, You can have it all
All that I am, I give You all

All my mistakes, all of my shame
My disappointment, and all of my pain

You can have it all, I lay it down, You can have it all, I lay it down

I’m letting go, I lift my eyes
Leave it all behind, I just want Your life

I lay it all down, I lay it all down, I lay it all down

I’m holding nothing back from You now
I’m holding nothing back from You now
