Lay My Burden Down Lyrics

INTRO: G
When I lay my burden down
I'll hear no mourners outside my window
Put my body in the ground
Because my spirit will be free at last
N.C. G B7
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 into the sunrise
N.C. G B7
With the lion and the lamb
And the beasts of the field___
When your secret is revealed
INSTRUMENTAL: D G C G D G C G D G D G
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
N.C. G B7
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
