Lay It Down
Matt Maher
The verse and the chorus came, as many of my songs do, in the midst of a worship time. Someone was talking about laying all of our stuff down at the feet of Jesus, and I started singing, “Everything I am/ Everything I long to be/ I’ll lay it down at Your feet.” I believe I wrote that in the fall of 2003, or earlier, and had it for a long time. Then, in the spring of 2006, Brenton Brown and I got together to write. We talked about how amazing it is that what we lay down is so minuscule compared to what God gives us. Yet, beautiful surrender happens, and brings us closer to God.
