This week’s featured song story comes to us from Jamie Kimmett. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his song “Burdens.”
“The heart and message of the song is very simple. The safest place in the world to be is at the feet of Jesus. It’s at the feet of Jesus that we find freedom, where we can lay all our burdens down. Jesus says, ‘come to me all who are heavy and I will give you rest for your soul.’ And it’s my prayer that you would find healing, strength, freedom and salvation at the feet of Jesus.” – Jamie Kimmett

“Burdens” Lyrics
VERSE 1
When the night comes
When you’re all alone
When there’s trouble stirring in your soul
And if your world is falling apart
Just hold on for the morning break to dawn
CHORUS 1
Come and lay your burdens down
To the place where freedom is found
At the feet, at the feet of Jesus
Come and lay your burdens down
VERSE 2
When the deepest sorrow weighs on your heart
When you’ve prayed for answers but the answers never come
For every tear that you cry
There’s a promise He will make your burdens light
BRIDGE
Lay them down
Lay them down
VERSE 3
When we see him Him face to face
All our worries will surely fade away
In the presence of His glorious light
We’ll sing hallelujah to the one who gave us life
CHORUS 1
CHORUS 2
Come and lay your burdens down
To the place where freedom is found
At the feet, at the feet of Jesus
Come and lay your burdens down
Come and lay your burdens down
