I had fun writing this song recently. I hope to use it in a story I’m working on. To encourage myself to write more, I’m going to store it in a folder called “Songs by Kathy.”
At the feet of Jesus,
I lay down my sorrows.
At the feet of Jesus,
I lay down my sin.
You bend down to me,
Wrap me tight,
Rock me in your loving arms.
Let me know that you’ve been waiting all along.
At the feet of Jesus,
I lay down my worries.
At the feet of Jesus,
I lay down my fears.
Sit me up,
Raise my head,
Help me breathe again.
Let me hear what you have to say to me.
At the feet of Jesus,
I lay down my hopes.
At the feet of Jesus,
I lay down my dreams.
Lift me up,
Spin me around,
Walk beside me as I go.
Because I don’t want to go without you,
But I want to go far.
At the feet of Jesus,
I lay down my failure.
At the feet of Jesus,
I cry and say “I quit.”
But there you kneel before me.
You smile and take my hands.
You say, “Let’s try again,
And maybe this time, we’ll go farther.”
At the feet of Jesus.
