Lord I've got the world upon my shouldersBut you've been saying "Child, put it down"I prayed and prayed that you would take my burdenBut you keep saying "Child, put it down"
Maybe I'm addicted to the worryMaybe I'm a slave to holding onHelp me put it downHelp me put it down
I've heard it said: the Gospel is restOh, how I need itSay it again'til I believe itOh, how I need itOh, how I need it
Lord you took the world upon your shouldersNow all I have to do is put it downI'm living like some weary beast of burdenAnd you keep saying, "Child, put it down"
Well, maybe I've been trying to be the heroFighting wars that you've already wonHelp me put it downHelp me put it down
Well, maybe I've been trying to be the heroFighting wars that you've already wonHelp me put it downHelp me put it down
Oh how I needThat peace that passes understandingHow I need itOh, how I need itThat peace that passes understandingHow I need itOh, how I need it
