Amanda Joy Powell's song 'Lay Your Burdens Down' is a heartfelt and moving plea to those who may be struggling with difficult emotions or circumstances. The song's lyrics are a reminder that we don't have to carry our burdens alone, and that we can find hope and freedom in Jesus.

Powell's inspiration for the song came from a powerful encounter with a woman consumed with anger and bitterness, who was struggling to let go of her burden. Amanda shares: 'The day before writing this song, I had just been talking with a woman who was consumed with anger, resentment, and bitterness; and she wasn’t ready to let go of it. Her burden had become such a part of her that she was more comfortable carrying it around with her than laying it down at the foot of the cross. I remember leaving that situation and just crying for HOURS! Praying on her behalf that God would help her to let go, and to forgive, so her healing could start. My heart was shattered for her. As I was laying down my burden for this lady and giving this concern to the Lord, I sat at the piano and poured out EVERYTHING I was thinking and feeling at that moment.' This experience led Amanda to create this beautiful song, 'Lay Your Burdens Down.'
