i say , i finally found the truth

when i opened up the book God's written

you say, i'm just another fool

who believes a man-made fairytale

i know, the God i serve is true

cause He doesn't lay there six feet under



before you get too far away



Chorus:

lay down, lay down, lay down your gods

open your eyes

then put your life on the line

lay down, lay down, lay down your gods

don't waste your time

you've got to lay down your gods



tell me, oh when your life is through

will the gods you serve be there to save you

i know

that Jesus is reality

not some false religious dream



don't let them steal your soul away



Repeat chorus



lay down, lay down, lay down your gods

follow the one

the way, the truth and the life

lay down, lay down, lay down your gods

don't live a lie

you've got to lay down your gods
