Amanda Cook
Starts and Ends (Live)
[Verse 1]
My soul thirsts for things I can't explain
In my bones a beckoning to pray
If my heart is a battleground
My defences run both ways
The flesh is a beggar and thief
But there is a Spirit-man awakening me

[Verse 2]
When real life and peace won't make amends
When all these starts
Start feeling like these ends
Like the world is unravelling
And I'm bound to come undone
There is a Shepherd a Priest
There is a Comforter who comforts me

[Refrain 1]
And my soul finds rest
Where it makes no sense
There the blood sets me free

[Refrain 2]
All my old regrets
All my brokenness
All my failures redeemed
[Refrain 3]
And it feels like grace
Where I stacked my shame
There the cross stands for me

[Refrain 4]
All the things I’ve done
All the times I’ve run
All my dead ends redeemed

[Refrain 5]
And it looks like hope
Where my heart was broke
And His heart broke for me

[Bridge]
Lay your burden down upon
Down upon Him
Lay your burden down
Lay your burden down upon
Down upon Him
Lay your burden down
Lay your burden down upon
Down upon Him
Lay your burden down
Lay your burden down upon
Down upon Him
Lay your burden down
Lay your burden down upon
Down upon Him
Lay your burden down
Lay your burden down upon
Down upon Him
Lay your burden down
Lay your burden down upon
Down upon Him
Lay your burden down
Lay your burden down upon
Down upon Him
Lay your burden down
[Pre-Chorus]
Jesus my rest in peace
My reconciler
You're my every good thing

[Refrain 6]
I surrender all
All I'm living for
You're my every good thing

[Refrain 7]
You're my amnesty
You're my split wide sea
You're my every good thing

[Refrain 8]
All my days and nights
You're my death to life
You're the wonder I breathe

[Refrain 9]
You're my can't explain
First and last refrain
You're my every good thing
