Lay me down into the ground I once was lost but never found I have forgotten my own sound And in the void of love I dug myself this hole And I'm here waiting for a stranger Oh I've played the wayfaring stranger Long enough to have tasted all danger Yet Your grace refuses to waver As you take my... burdens on Thee Lay me down into the waves Let your love wash pain away Heal this sickness in my veins There is a light which causes death to die It's a mystery full of wonder Oh I've played the wayfaring stranger Long enough to have tasted all danger Yet Your grace refuses to waver As you take my burdens on Thee I pray lay me down That you might raise me up
