[Verse 1]
I carried years like heavy stones in worn-out hands
Every wrong road knew my name, every grain of sand
I heard the call from off the porch of mercy’s door
A Father waiting, saying “Son, you don’t have to roam no more”

[Verse 2]
I tried to fix myself with pride and borrowed grace
But every mile I ran just traced me back to that same place
When I turned around, I saw the light from home
It wasn’t condemnation, it was love that pulled me close

[Pre-Chorus]
I dropped the weight I couldn’t bear
Right at the foot of answered prayer

[Chorus]
I laid my burdens down at the altar of mercy
Picked up a fire in my soul
That call came clear like a familiar voice
Calling the prodigal in me home
I laid my burdens down, yes I laid my burdens down
And I picked up a fire in my soul

[Instrumental Break – Piano walk-up, bass fills]

[Verse 3]
There were shoes waiting by the door, a robe of white
No questions asked, just open arms and tears that night
The past fell silent when forgiveness spoke
And every chain I wore before was gone the moment hope took hold

[Pre-Chorus]
I felt the weight fall to the floor
When grace said “You live here anymore”

[Chorus]
I laid my burdens down at the altar of mercy
Picked up a fire in my soul
That call came clear like a familiar voice
Calling the prodigal in me home
I laid my burdens down, yes I laid my burdens down
And I picked up a fire in my soul

[Bridge – Quartet builds, tenor leads]
I’m not who I was, thank God I’m changed
There’s joy in the house, there’s a feast prepared
If you’re standing far off, hear what I’ve known
There’s room at the table — child, come on home

[Chorus – Full Quartet, Strong Harmony]
I laid my burdens down at the altar of mercy
Picked up a fire in my soul
That call came clear like a familiar voice
Calling the prodigal in me home
I laid my burdens down, yes I laid my burdens down
And I picked up a fire in my soul

[Tag – Call & Response Feel]
I laid them down (Yes I did)
I laid them down (Thank the Lord)
I laid my burdens down
And I picked up a fire in my soul
