Sweet Sound

I'm laying down all my burdens

I'm burying my pain in the ground

I'm surrendering all to the sweet, sweet sound

I'm forgetting my pain and my sorrows

And wearing my heart out on my sleeve

All I need is this love in my heart to believe

And that heaven is not in the skies waiting

And if I spend my time hating, I'll be living in hell

So I've been praying, I've been praying for something

To show my heart the one thing that by now I should know well

'Cause all these songs I've been given

But they've shown me that living is not so hard after all

They fill me up with light, tell me I'm wrong when I think I'm right

And pick me up every time I fall

To all my days I will sing, give praise

It's what I was put here for

I've made my choice, I've got my voice

And I don't need nothing more, oh, no-no, no-no

Because patience is a virtue, I've been hearing

But if I wait for the smoke to be clearing, I might waste my days away

Because tomorrow is just yesterday a little bit later

And I know it'll be greater if I live for today

'Cause oh Lord, I've been running, I've been running and hiding

Hiding from the truth

But as I lay me down, I hear the sweet, sweet sound

And I don't need no more proof

'Cause I don't know what this world has got in store

But if it's an open door, I'm gonna walk through

And I don't know why we keep the best inside

But if I find out, and I'll come and find your way, oh, yeah, oh

So all my days I will sing, give praises

Is what I was put here for

I've made my choice, I've got my voice

And I don't need nothing more, oh, no-no, no-no, no

I'm ready Lord, I'm not waiting no more

No negative, positive for sure

Oh Lord, I said, "My troubles are washed away"

I'm ready Lord, I'm not waiting no more

No negative, positive for sure

Tell everyone the good love is here to stay

Oh Lord, I said, "My troubles are washed away"
