Glory, Glory Hallelujah

Since I laid my burden down

Glory, Glory Hallelujah

Since I laid my burden down

I feel so much better

so much better

Since I laid my burden down

I feel so much better

so much better

Since I laid my burden down

Glory, Glory Hallelujah

Since I laid my burden down

Glory, Glory Hallelujah

Since I laid my burden down

Thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus

Help me lay my burden down

I wanna thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus

Help me lay my burden down

Since I laid my burden down

Glory, Glory Hallelujah

Since I laid my burden down

Glory, Glory Hallelujah
