Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the depths from the heights
I will bring a sacrifice
With these hands lifted high
Here my song here my cry
I will bring a sacrifice
I will bring a sacrifice
I'm not my own
I belong to you alone
Lay me down
Lay me down
Oh, hand on my heart
This much is true
There's no life apart from you
Lay me down
Lay me down
Letting go of my pride
Giving up all my rights
Take this life and let it shine, shine, shine
Take this life and let it shine
I lay me down
I'm not my own
I belong to you alone
Lay me down
Lay me down, oh oh oh
Hand on my heart
This much is true
There's no life apart from you
Lay me down
Lay me down
Oh oh oh
Lay me down
Lay me down
It will be my joy to say
Your will, your way
It will be my joy to say
Your will, your way
It will be my joy to say
Your will, your way, always
It will be my joy to say
Your will, your way
It will be my joy to say
Your will, your way
It will be my joy to say
Your will, your way, always
I lay me down
I'm not my own
I belong to you alone
Lay me down
Lay me down, oh oh oh
Hand on my heart
This much is true
There's no life apart from you
Lay me down
Lay me down, oh oh oh
Lay me down
Lay me down, oh oh oh
Lay me down
Lay me down
The song "Lay Me Down" by Passion feat. Chris Tomlin & Matt Redman is a powerful worship song that reflects a heart that is open and surrendered to God. The lyrics speak of bringing a sacrifice with a heart that is open from the depths to the heights. The sacrifice being referred to here is the offering of oneself to God, with all of their heart, soul, and strength. The chorus speaks of laying oneself down before God, acknowledging that we belong to Him alone, and there's no life apart from Him. It's a proclamation of surrender, trust, and devotion to God.
The second part of the song talks about letting go of pride and giving up all rights to God.

I'm 77 plus 6 months and I TOTALLY LOVE THIS SONG. I live in a country area of Queensland - I'm a widow without my beloved one after 41 years. it's my worship song and makes me come alive in love and sacrifice (Romans 12 1-2) for my Lord and Saviour. I want it sung at my funeral. Thanks so much.
