Lay It Down

So on the way to church yesterday, on the way to the first Sunday in Lent, on the way to celebrate the installation of new elders and to celebrate becoming a member of an awesome community of believers...I heard this song. I felt it is very appropriate for Lent, very appropriate for new beginnings, and a wonderful prayer.

May it be a meditation for you in the coming days as we journey with Christ to the cross, and anticipate the empty tomb of Easter morning...

Lay It Down-Connersvine

Listen to my humble cry

Listen to my earnest plea

Here my voice as I am calling out

I’m on my knees again

I don’t wanna go away

From this holy holy place

I guess I’m saying Lord I lay it all down again

All of my life I’m happy to lay down

In light of your glory

All of my life I’m happy to lay down

In light of your glory, in light of your glory

And when I wake up in the night

And I feel you in my room

Something in your voice is drawing me to follow after you

To a place where I belong far away from incomplete

Where I give it all to you because you gave all for me

All of my life I’m happy to lay down

In light of your glory

All of my life I’m happy to lay down

In light of your glory, in light of your glory

In the morning when I rise again (Lord I lay it down)

In the evening under skies for you (Lord I lay it down)

Everyday and all my life for you (Lord I lay it down)

All of my life I’m happy to lay down

In light of your glory

All of my life I’m happy to lay down

In light of your glory, in light of your glory
