I Lay Down

I lay down my life for You,
Like You layed Yours down for me,
I'm proud to bear the name,
Of Christianity.
I lay down my burdens,
I can't shoulder them anymore,
I've come to many roadblocks,
But You've always opened a door.
I lay down my sins,
Forgive me for what I've done,
I thank You dear Lord,
For sacrificing Your Son.
