Lay Me Down

As the chorus says for “Lay Me Down” we are not our own but of Jesus Christ our savior.

I lay me down I’m not my own

I belong to you alone

Lay me down, lay me down

Hand on my heart this much is true

There’s no life apart from you

Lay me down, lay me down

Lay me down, lay me down
