Lay Him Down by Krista Detor Lyrics
LAY HIM DOWN
© Krista Detor, Cover Their Eyes
On Silver Creek (lay him down, lay him down by the water)
On the banks of the creek (lay him down by the water)
And he’ll sing his sorrow from a place that’s hotter, lay him down
(lay him down)
Lay him down
Lay him down
‘Cause the wage of sin is a place that’s hotter
Lay him down, lay him down
To sin and woe (lay him down, lay him down by the water)
A wicked way did he go (lay him down by the water)
And he sold his soul to a place that’s hotter, lay him down
(lay him down)
Lay him down
Lay him down
‘Cause the wage of sin is a place that’s hotter
Lay him down, lay him down
Robert Wright (lay him down, lay him down by the water)
A bloody night when he fell (lay him down by the water)
Through the gates of hell to a place that’s hotter, lay him down
(lay him down)
Lay him down
Lay him down
‘Cause the wage of sin is a place that’s hotter
Lay him down, lay him down
Child, look away (lay him down, lay him down by the water)
From the grave that he made (lay him down by the water)
Or he’ll sing your name from a place that’s hotter, lay him down
(lay him down)
Lay him down
Lay him down
‘Cause the wage of sin is a place that’s hotter
Lay him down, lay him down
Lay him down
Lay him down
On Silver Creek … on the banks of the creek
And he’ll sing his sorrow from a place that’s hotter
Lay him down
