Down Lyrics

Longing

Picture perfect

Gotta get it right this time

Hold it together

Till the pieces fit just right, oh

Striving, fighting

For my peace of mind

I call out

Why can't I just do things right

Do things right

I close my eyes and hold my breath

Until it all comes out

He listens to my every cry

And my every doubt

There's nothing in me that can hide

As he searches me

It's breaking me

Down

I'm laying it all down

My thoughts, my wounds, my crown

The pride I wear around

Like a badge I lay it down

If I let myself let go

His light in me can show

As I shine it all around

I'm laying it down

No use in fighting all the things that I can't control, oh

Daily surrender is something that I should get to know, oh

Running, hiding

From God's perfect timing

Can't be done, so

Why do I even try, even try

I close my eyes and hold my breath

Until it all comes out

He listens to my every cry

And my every doubt

There's nothing in me that can hide

As he searches me

It's breaking me

Down

I'm laying it all down

My thoughts, my wounds, my crown

The pride I wear around

Like a badge I lay it down

If I let myself let go

His light in me can show

As I shine it all around

I'm laying it down

Peace I give you

Peace I leave you
