Verso 1

Lord I've got the world
Upon my shoulders
But You've been saying
Child put it down
I prayed and prayed that
You would take my burden
But You keep saying
Child put it down

Pré refrão 1

Maybe I'm addicted to the worry
Maybe I'm a slave to holding on
Help me put it down
Help me put it down

Refrão

I've heard it said
The Gospel is rest
How I need it
Say it again
'Til I believe it
How I need it
How I need it

Verso 2

Lord You took the world
Upon Your shoulders
Now all I have to do
Is put it down
I'm living like some
Weary beast of burden
And You keep saying
Child put it down

Pré refrão 2

Well maybe I've been trying
To be the hero
Fighting wars that
You've already won
Help me put it down
Help me put it down

I've heard it said
The Gospel is rest
How I need it
Say it again
'Til I believe it
How I need it
How I need it
