Lay Them Down
There's no time for holding on to
All the weighty cares that keep us down
We must let them go if we're to
Enter in the race to win that crown
Is it really worth exchanging
All the glory that He has to give
Just to hang on to the pleasures
That entangle up this life we live
Lay them down
Get up and run the race
Lay them down
There's just no time to waste
Lay them down
With all your heart and soul
Lay them down
Keep pressing on toward that goal
If you really want to know Him
You should realize that it's gonna cost
Everything you might have gained here
Jesus said that you must count it lost
All I really know that there is freedom
When we just obey the words He said
Forgetting all that lies behind us
Reaching forward to what lies ahead
Lay them down
Get up and run the race
Lay them down
There's just no time to waste
Lay them down
With all your heart and soul
Lay them down
Keep pressing on toward that goal
We're fixing all our eyes on Jesus
Our guiding star is in His eyes
Leading us to the prize
Lay them down
Get up and run the race
Lay them down
There's just no time to waste
Lay them down
With all your heart and soul
Lay them down
Keep pressing on toward that goal
Lay them down
Get up and run the race
Lay them down
There's just no time to waste
Lay them down
With all your heart and soul
Lay them down
Keep pressing on toward that goal
