When I was young, I walked in the way of the world
I did everything I was told
By the enemy of my soul
Like so many, so many who'd gone before me
And I got tired, tired of the lies I was
Tired of the wall I kept hitting
So tired of my sin
'Til a voice called to me and He called me blessed
And He said, "Come, come, come, lay down your burdens"
Come to the Lord and the Lord will give you rest
Yeah so I come, I come, I come and lay down my burdens
I come to the Lord and the Lord is my rest
Now that I'm walking, not in the way of the world,
I'm walking on in the way of the Word,
Walking on in the light of the Lord
Like my brothers and my sisters who've gone before me
And I get tired, I'm tired of the battle raging on
Oh, but His grace, His grace makes me strong
And His voice calls to me
And He calls me blessed
And He says, "Come, come, come, lay down your burdens"
Come to the Lord and the Lord will give you rest
Yeah so I come, I come, I come and lay down my burdens
I come to the Lord and the Lord is my rest
So if you have burdens, if you're hurting,
You can lay it all at the foot of the cross, yes you can
Where Jesus came and He ransomed the lost
And He's calling you blessed
And He says, "Come, come, come, lay down your burdens"
Come to the Lord and the Lord will give you rest
Yeah so I come, I come, I come and lay down my burdens
I come to the Lord and the Lord is my rest
Yes He's my rest
