I Lay Me Down

Lyrics by:  Darryl Evans
Tabbed by:  jger0615@stu.oru.edu

D              G
I lay me down  I lay me down
D              G
I lay me down  I lay me down
  C      G            D       C      G            D
A living sacrifice to you,  a living sacrifice to you

D               G
I lay it down,  I lay it down
D               G
I lay it down,  I lay it down
  C        G            D       C        G            D
A pleasing sacrifice to you,  a pleasing sacrifice to you

E               A
I lift you up,  I lift you up
E               A
I lift you up,  I lift you up
    F#m          A                 E
And freedom will be the song of my heart
    F#m          A                 E
And freedom will be the song of my heart

E               A
I lay me down,  I lay me down
E               A
I lay me down,  I lay me down
    F#m        A                  E
And freedom is now the song of my heart  (feel free to get crazy here)
    F#m        A                  E
And freedom is now the song of my heart  (repeat as much as you want)

(Singing softly and barely strumming the guitar)
E
At the foot of the cross I lay my life down

At the foot of the cross I lay down my crown
         A                                    E
There is freedom there O' Lord  I lay my life down

E
Teach me Lord to deny myself

To take up your cross  to deny myself
   A
To walk with you to follow you to honor you
                   E
For the rest of my days

   F#m      A              E
And I...and I  lay my life down  (whisper)
   F#m      A              pluck the E string on down
And I...and I  lay my life down

Whether you're singing this with a large group of people, or just
yourself in the room, you can't get away from the fact that it's just
between you and God.  It's so intimate, and that's how most of Darryl's
songs are.  That's what we need more of these days.  Any questions
