Lay It Down

Lay it down

From the day that you were born
till the time you were no more
There was singing from the balconies
there was laughing on the shore

We all heard you when you landed
smiled your first,cried your last
felt your mighty voices tremble
in this place that is so vast

Take on the fight,young William Clarence
Take all the weight and move on by
Put all your love into this world
Even when it leaves you dry

When the sea was grey and tossing
When the work was all but done
The time you moved into our hearts
We saw your love shine through the Son

Pick up the Cross,young Derrick William
in a world where you,ll stand tall
taller than the highest forest
Your tiny hand has touched them all

She,ll be waiting for you someday
the only place that will remain
a smile of confidence and comfort
When she,ll take you home again

Take it up and be excited
take it up and rest assured
Take us all along beside you
through the life that you endured

Move ahead among the paths of love
soft as your head lays down
touching all our lives from deep inside
Take up the cross and lay it down
