(verse 1)
I find this world cold and lonely,
here where I am.
Heaven only knows what I'm going through.
My father's cup is before me,
here in my hands.
Should I drink and lay me down for you?

(verse 2)
Even those closest to me don't understand
the kind of death I'm going to.
If my father were not with me,
it's more than I could stand.
For His love I lay me down for you.

(chorus)
Now I lay me down my friends.
Now I lay me down for you.
Now I lay me down my friends.
No greater thing love can do.
Now I lay me down for you.

(verse 3)
Should you find this world cold and lonely,
there were you are.
Just remember there's a heart
beating here for you.

(repeat chorus)
