lyrics

I am not worthy of Your grace or your love
Because I am not ready to give up what I've built up
Even though I know
It's all for naught.

I lay it all down, guide me now, guide me now, I lay it all down.

And I fail daily - it's what I'm good at - I can count on it,
But I can't quite figure out:
Why for years I have known what must be done,
But I haven't done it yet.
I think it's time to give up.

But you say:
"No, oh no. I have filled you with My love, and you're learning through it all - Not you're will but Mine be done. Son you should know by now that these things take time. You will try and fail, but I'll be there to pick you up."

I lay it all down, guide me now, guide me now, I lay it all down.

I'm still not worthy of Your grace or Your love,
But it's time now
To lay it all down

I lay it all down, guide me now, guide me now, I lay it all down.
Take everything - It's all Yours anyways, guide me now
I lay it all down

You say:
"Child, my child. I have filled you with My love, and you're learning through it all - Not you're will but Mine be done. Son you should know by now that these things take time. You will try and fail, but I'll be there to pick you up."

I lay it all down, guide me now, guide me now, I lay it all down.
