Lay My Burden Down letra

I wanna climb that mountain, cross over to the promised land.
I'm gonna climb that mountain, cross over to the promised land.
There's a scarlet fountain where once the cross did stand.

My days are numbered, but there's no sorrow when I sleep.
My days are surely numbered, there's no sorrow when I sleep.
He comforts those who stay within his keep.

Life is filled with mystery, our future's in his hands
And God controls the history more than we can understand
He lets the devil shake us just to wake us from our dreams
But he never will forsake us, no matter what it sometimes seems.

Well my heart is heavy but I'm standing on the solid rock.
Yeah my heart is heavy but I'm standing on the solid rock.
The sheep know the shepherd when they hear their master talk.

Satan is our enemy, darkness is his power.
Yes, Satan is our enemy, and darkness is his power.
He roams the streets like a lion seeking whom next to devour.

Misdirection, distraction are subtle weapons he can use.
Misdirection, distraction are subtle weapons he can use.
'Cause you can think your hands are sinless
When indifference is what you choose.

Yeah, when my work is done I'm gonna lay my burden down.
When my work is done I'm gonna lay my burden down.
I'm gonna leave my troubles, gonna head for higher ground.
