Lay It Down

I just spent a wonderful weekend with my mom and another of our favorite mother / daughter duos! It was more than relaxing and lovely. Something that kept coming up for me over and over again was to surrender. Just lay it down! Whatever that might be – my stress, anxiety, worry about the kids at home without me, my tossing and turning on the nights I could sleep without interruption!

Whatever it might be, I kept thinking – lay it down and relax.

This morning on the way to school my daughters kept asking for this song – ironic? I think not!

Good For Me by Watermark

You bring life to my bones

And a spring to my step

And a heart that knows what it means

To wait before You

Laughter into my house

And a time to sing and shout

And a heart that knows what it means

To really trust You...

And when the shadow of sorrow comes

I will fall on the only One I know

Is the Rock that won't be shaken...
Chorus

'Cause it is good for me

To lay it down at Your feet

It is good for me to lay the good and bad

In Your hand, my God...

It is good for me

To lay it down at Your feet

It is good for me

You are the constant One

When my life is overwhelmed

And You stay the same when all around is changing

And, oh, how good it is, yeah

Just to know the life You give

And my song shall ever be

That my god is faithful...

And when the shadow of sorrow comes

I will fall on the only One I know

Is the Rock that won't be shaken...

And when I delight myself in You

You give me the desires of my heart,

When I confess that You know best

Peace flows like a river and joy comes in the morning...
