THERE I LAY MY BURDENS DOWN,
WHERE MY JESUS, BLED AND DIED TO SET ME FREE.
IT WAS THERE I SAW THE LIGHT
ON THAT DARK, SO LONELY NIGHT
IN THE SHADOW, IN THE SHADOW OF THE CROSS.
IN THE SHADOW OF HIS LOVE
THERE I FOUND, SUCH PEACE OF MIND
WHEN I KNELT IN PRAYER AND ASK HIM TO COME.
IN THE SHADOW OF THE CROSS
I TRADED BURDENS, FOR A CROWN.
IN THE CENTER OF THE CROSS
THERE I FOUND MY JOY WITHIN
WHEN MY HEART HAD LISTEN TO THE CALL OF GOD.
NOW I LIVE EACH DAY FOR HIM
AND HIS SPIRIT, DWELLS WITHIN.
THAT IS WHY MY HEART CAN SING
AND TO JESUS, I CAN BRING,
EVERY BURDEN THAT I CARRY EVERYDAY.
SO I BRING IT TO THE SHADOW OF THE CROSS
AND I LEAVE IT AT THE SHADOW OF THE CROSS.
