When I Lay My Burden Down

Glory, glory, hallelujah, when I lay my burden down,

Glory, glory, hallelujah, when I lay my burden down,

Glory, glory, hallelujah, when I lay my burden down,

I gonna be in heaven when I lay my burden down.

Glory, glory, hallelujah, I’s goin’ to my home on high,

Glory, glory, hallelujah, I’s goin’ to my home on high,

Glory, glory, hallelujah, I’s goin’ to my home on high,

I’s gonna be in my home in heaven when I lay my burden down.

Since I Laid My Burden Down
