Song Lyrics
I Lay Me Down
I've walked a rugged mile
or two throughout the years
and I tried, how I tried to smile
through all those bitter tears.
I tried to earn His mercy.
How I tried to earn my crown,
until He gently whispered,
"Child, you've got to lay you down."
[Chorus]
So, I lay me down on the altar of mercy.
He lifts me up in the arms of grace.
There is nothing,
oh, there's nothing I'd rather see
than my Savior face-to-face.
(Repeat)
I'd love the see the wonders
of the world in a day.
I'd love to see ten thousand souls
fall on their knees and pray.
I'd love to see His glory
shining brightly all around.
But I'll never see my King
until I've laid me down.
[Chorus]
(Repeat)
[Bridge]
I lay me down,
with all my desire,
to be cleansed in mercy fire.
I lay me down.
I lay me down.
I lay me down.
When I can't,
I know He can
help me lay me down.
[Chorus]
(Repeat)
my Savior face-to-face.

It touched my heart at a very deep level. So many of us have dreams, vision, prophetic words that were spoken over us . . . we long to see it come to pass, yet if we would follow Him we must pay the cost. And only HE knows when He has from us the profoundest, the deepest level of communion we are able to offer Him.
Yes, I count myself dead to the world and its thinking, to my flesh and its cravings and knee-jerk reactions. I am alive all the way to God Himself. I am bound to think the thoughts of Jesus, which are all redemption and LIFE from the dead!
