Lay My Burden Down Lyrics & Chords By Caroline Herring

When I lay my burden down

There'll be no mourners outside my window

Put my body in the ground

Because my spirit will be free at last

And I'll be flying in the darkness

I'll ride the wind without a sound

When I lay my burden down



When I see that great green valley

The haunting shadows will fade behind me

A golden highway stretched out before me

And I will walk in to the sunrise

With the lion and the lamb

And the beasts of the field

When your secret is revealed



When I lay my burden down

Could be tomorrow

God has not told me

And now I will love

With all the heart, soul and strength within me

As a mother and a lover

And a sister and a daughter



And then one day

Over Jordan

I'll see angels hear trumpets sound

When I lay my burden down

When I lay my burden down
