Couplet 1

When the night comes
When you're all alone
When there's trouble
Stirring in your soul
And if your world is
Falling apart
And just hold on
For the morning break to dawn

Refrain

Come and lay your burdens down
To the place where freedom is found
At the feet at the feet of Jesus
Come and lay your burdens down

Couplet 2

When the deepest sorrow
Weighs on your heart
When you've prayed for answers
But the answers never come
For every tear
That you cry
There's a promise
He will make Your burdens light

Refrain

Come and lay your burdens down
To the place where freedom is found
At the feet at the feet of Jesus
Come and lay your burdens down

Refrain modifié

Oh lay them down
Oh lay them down

Couplet 3

When we see Him
Face to face
All our worries
Will surely fade away
In the presence
Of His glorious light
We'll sing hallelujah
To the One who gave us life

Refrain

Come and lay your burdens down
To the place where freedom is found
At the feet at the feet of Jesus
Come and lay your burdens down

Refrain

So come and lay your burdens down
To the place where freedom is found
At the feet at the feet of Jesus
Come and lay your burdens down
