Roll Back Again Lyrics by Michael James

Closer to the Fire

0

Another walk down this familiar road
And like before
I'm shouldering one too many heavy loads
I'm not made for
Who do I think I'm fooling
Trying to prove I'm strong when
I oughta lay this down
I knew it all along

If you roll your burden anywhere else
It will roll back again
Oh, yes, it will roll back again
Give to Jesus what you can't bear yourself
Why don't you roll it on Him
Oh, won't you roll it on Him
'Cause if you roll your burden anywhere else
It will roll back again
Oh, yes, it will roll back again
Oh, roll back again

You would've thought
This lesson would be learned
Somehow by now
But for some reason, I'm a little slow
To figure it out
Now here I am heavy laden
And weary just like before
Maybe I'll think twice next time
And not ignore

If you roll your burden anywhere else
It will roll back again
Oh, yes, it will roll back again
Give to Jesus what you can't bear yourself
Why don't you roll it on Him
Oh, won't you roll it on Him
'Cause if you roll your burden anywhere else
It will roll back again
Oh, yes, it will roll back again
Oh, roll back again

There is no need to live
Under this weight of grief
When we have someone
Who waits with relief

If you roll your burden anywhere else
It will roll back again
Oh, yes, it will roll back again
Give to Jesus what you can't bear yourself
Why don't you roll it on Him
Oh, won't you roll it on Him
'Cause if you roll your burden anywhere else
It will roll back again
Oh, yes, it will roll back again
Oh, roll back again, roll back again

You got to roll
(Roll it on Him, roll it on Him)
You got to roll
(Roll it on Him, roll it on Him)

You got to roll
(Roll it on Him, roll it on Him)
You got to roll
(Roll it on Him, roll it on Him)

If you don't, it'll roll back
(Roll back again, roll back again)
You got to roll
(Roll it on Him, roll it on Him)
