I Lay Me Down

Words & Music: Dennis Jernigan

Verse

The fire You have called me to consumes me

Leaving me exposed and naked standing there

All You brought me through is Yours to use, so use me

But the load at  times is more than I can bear

Chorus

So I lay me down

Lay my burdens down

And I fix my eyes on You

I lay my burdens down

Where Your grace abounds

And I find my rest in You

And I find my rest in You

Verse

Weeping lasts the night but joy is coming

I find joy when I can see what You can see

Though I fall I get back up and I keep running

And I run straight to Your arms where You redeem

Chorus

So I lay me down

Lay my burdens down

And I fix my eyes on You

I lay my burdens down

Where Your grace abounds

And I find my rest in You

And I find my rest in You

Bridge

Grace! Pour Your grace on me 

For I am needy! I am weak! 

Grace! Pour Your grace on me 

For You alone will be my strength! 

Grace! Let Your grace abound! 

Where the darkness rules let Your Light surround! 

Grace! Let Your grace abound! 

Fill me with pow'r to put the Liar down! 

Grace! Pour Your grace on me 

And help me see what You can see! 

Grace! Pour Your grace on me! 

Father, fill my soul and set me free!

Chorus

So I lay me down

Lay my burdens down

And I fix my eyes on You

I lay my burdens down

Where Your grace abounds

And I find my rest in You

And I find my rest in You
