[Verse1: God's Servant]
And I got a homie that was to go out to a people group/ that's barely
Reached with truth/ and tell em the deal, and let em know that He's real --
That Jesus is who they need to choose/ that He's the King of every living
Thing that breathes and moves/ tell em repent and believe and hope he sees
The fruit/ I'm really hoping that You see him/ he knows You're awesome and
He wants those cats to see it too/ and Your bible blesses that, and says
Those feet are beautiful/ Don't need a screen or a stage, he's down to
Serve in private/ you save your life you'll lose it/ but in reverse you'll
Find it/ and you can tell by how the fire burning in his eyes is/ he wants
To give it all for Christ, oh yeah, he's burdened by it/ and he ain't
Fooled by al the comforts here to stay around/ his eye is on the prize... he
Wants the greater crown/ he told me Jesus ain't just save us just to play
Around/ He gave us life so we could lay it down/
Hook:
So Lay it down, yeah, yeah lay it down
So lay it down , yeah yeah lay it down
Jesus ain't just save us just to play around/
He gave us life so we could lay it down/
[Verse2: God's Servant]
I see it's got you caught, it's dangerous and sweet/ its snagging up your
Legs, entangling your feet/ that sin you're feasting on has numbed your
Heart/ you want to run to God/ but now it hinders you from running hard/
The Lord, He sees your bondage/ He's got the secret knowledge/ of
Everything you want to try and hide and keep in darkness/ if you've been
Raised with Christ/ why would you bring dishonor?/when you return just
Like a dog returns to eat its vomit!/ you need to stop it, come to the
King and drop it!/ He'll wash you with His blood/ and clean your evil
Conscience/ He said we'll be his sons/ He said we'll be His daughters/ so
Let's complete our holiness as we believe his promise!/ Come to the rugged
Cross -- you know there's grace for you?/ He's caused His saints to mourn
And burdened them to pray for you/ cause though your sin is ma**ive grace
Abounds/ for you to slay it now -- so family take your sin and lay it down/
Hook:
So Lay it down, yeah, yeah lay it down
So lay it down , yeah yeah lay it down
Jesus ain't just save us just to play around/
He gave us life so we could lay it down/
[Verse3: God's Servant]
Remember at the table? He had the bread and wine/ disciples all around...
Soon headed out to die/ and why? Well, Isaiah prophesied, somebody had to
Catch it just to get us off the line!/ He held the broken bread, and held
The crimson drink/ said it's His blood and body, so let the picture sink/
Just think/ that Christ would sacrifice the Lamb cause/ the Son of Man
Was, sent to be a ransom/ how kind a Lord is He?/ died to restored the
Weak/ our Shepherd gave His life and supplied it for the sheep/ surely he
Took our sins, surely He bore our grief/ on Him was laid the chastisement
That has brought us peace/ they mocked Him as He hung/ they saw the shame
Was foul/what type of Lord is this that just a cross could take Him out?/
They missed it, the very phrase from out our Savior's mouth/ Nobody takes
His life, but see He lays it down!
