Lyrics
Glory, Glory (Lay My Burden Down)
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah, since I laid my burden down.
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah, since I laid my burden down.
I've been feeling so much better since I laid my burden down.
I've been feeling so much better since I laid my burden down.
Friends don't see me like they used to since I laid my burden down.
Friends don't see me like they used to since I laid my burden down.
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah, since I laid my burden down.
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah, since I laid my burden down.
No more sickness, no more sorrow since I laid my burden down.
No more sickness, no more sorrow since I laid my burden down.
I'm gonna shake glad hands with the angels since I laid my burden down.
I'm gonna shake glad hands with the angels since I laid my burden down.
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah, since I laid my burden down.
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah, since I laid my burden down.
