Frank Edwards Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wait!
Time is running out
Said that You gonna do
I'm gonna lay my life
For the Lord to use
Please use me as You want
Say what You wanna say
Do what You wanna do
I am here to obey Your word

So, I lay it down to You (I lay it down)
My body and my soul (I lay it down)
Come and fill my heart
Use me as You will
I lay it down to You (I lay it down)
My spirit and my life (I lay it down)
Come and fill my heart
Lord use me as You will
‘Cause I lay it down to You (I lay it down)
(I lay it down)
I lay it down, I lay it down

I lay it down

You did it first
So I'm doing it now
My life is not my own
I lay it down to You (I lay it down)
My body and my soul (I lay it down)
Come and fill my heart
Use me as You will
I lay it down to You (I lay it down)
My spirit and my life (I lay it down)

Come and fill my heart
Lord use me as You will

I'm not gonna wait (I'm not gonna wait not a minute Lord, I lay it down)
I lay it down at Your feet Lord (lay it down at Your feet Lord, I lay it down)

I lay it down, I lay it down (I lay it down at Your feet)
O oh (I lay it down)
You can use me as You want oh Lord I'm ready

Lord I lay it down to You
My body and my soul
I lay it down to You
Use me as You want
Do what You wanna do (I lay it down)
Say what You wanna say (I lay it down)
I lay it down, I lay it down




You can u-s-e me (I lay it down)
(I lay it down)
