Gonna Lay My Heavy Burdens Down Lyrics by Jeremy Garrett, Glen Garrett

Garrett Grass Gospel

2005

Sometimes the burden of life is heavy
Sometimes my load seems too hard to bear
'Tis then ol’ Satan will try to tell me
I'll never reach that sweet home up there
But I know Jesus will not forsake me
Though sin and sorrow be all around
And when my journey on earth is ended
I'll lay these heavy burdens down
I’m gonna lay down (lay down my burden)
My heavy burdens (my heavy burdens)
I'm gonna take up (take up my robe)
My robe and crown (take up my crown)
Then up in glory (then up in glory)
I'll live forever (I'll live forever)
In that fair homeland (in that fair land)
I'll settle down
No more to travel (no more to travel)
A road of sorrow (a road of sorrow)
No more to meet with (no more to meet)
An angry frown (an angry frown)
Yes, when my journey (yes, when my journey)
On earth has ended (on earth shall end)
I'll lay these heavy burdens down
I cannot tell you the time or season
No man can know when the Lord will come
But I can tell you the true and faithful
When called to judgement will hear "well done"
So won't you meet me beside the river
In that fair land where no sin is found
For when my journey on earth is ended
I'll lay these heavy burdens down
I’m gonna lay down (lay down my burden)
My heavy burdens (my heavy burdens)
I’m gonna take up (take up my robe)
My robe and crown (take up my crown)
Then up in glory (then up in glory)
I'll live forever (I’ll live forever)
In that fair homeland (in that fair land)
I'll settle down
No more to travel (no more to travel)
A road of sorrow (a road of sorrow)
No more to meet with (no more to meet)
An angry frown (an angry frown)
Yes, when my journey (yes, when my journey)
On earth has ended (on earth shall end)
I'll lay these heavy burdens down
