Lyrics The Oak Ridge Boys

The Oak Ridge Boys

When I Lay My Burdens Down

When I lay my burdens down some day

Recieve a crown that will never fade away

Tears are wiped from eyes, Hearts bleed no more inside.

When I lay my burdens some day

When I lay my burden down some day

I'll say hello to many friends of yesterday

Oh, Heaven's gates will open wide, recieve me on the other side.

When I lay my burdens down some day

Long will be the tears of life I have long.

Joy will take their place. Into heaven I have flown.

So, up here I will stay and be faithful all the way

Till' I lay my burdens down someday.
