I'm Going to Lay Down My Heavy Load

Chorus:
O by and by, by and by
I'm going to lay down my heavy load.

1 The river of Jordan aint got no bounds
I'm going to lay down my heavy load;
If you aint got Jesus you'll surely drown,
I'm going to lay down my heavy load. [Chorus]

2 Poor sinner man, aint you ashamed,
I'm going to lay down my heavy load,
To trample down your Saviour's name,
I'm going to lay down my heavy load. [Chorus]

3 Some of these mornings bright and fair,
I'm going to lay down my heavy load;
I'm goin' t'put on my wings and try the air,
I'm going to lay down my heavy load. [Chorus]

4 Some of these mornings, 'twont be long,
I'm going to lay down my heavy load;
You'll look for me and I'll be gone,
I'm going to lay down my heavy load. [Chorus]
