The ENCOUNTER - lyrics

---

Verse 1

Walking down the road   late one night,  

I couldn’t see the day, no hope in sight

A man standing there with a bible in hand

Preaching God’s love throughout the land.

Verse 2

At First I didn’t know what to do,    

how a change in my heart could make me new.

Turning to God, I saw the light

Suddenly I knew, it’s not my fight

Chorus 1

Lay your burdens down 

at the feet of Jesus 

Lay your burdens down 

Yes, He will heal us

Lay your burdens down 

And feel God’s power

Lay your burdens down 

Bridge

It don’t matter what you’ve done,

Jesus died for everyone.

It don’t matter what you’ve done, cause

Jesus died for everyone.

It don’t matter what you’ve done,

Jesus died for everyone.

It don’t matter what you’ve done, cause

Jesus died for you.

Verse 3

Christ came to the earth,   to die for your sins,  

He’s knocking at your door,  won’t you let Him in.

It don’t matter,    where you’ve been,

Christ came to die,    for all your sins

Chorus 2

Lay your burdens down 

at the feet of Jesus 

Lay your burdens down 

Yes, He will heal us

Lay your burdens down 

And feel God’s power

Lay your burdens down,   

Outro

Come and Lay your burdens down 

Lay your burdens down
