LAY THE GHOSTS DOWN TO REST

by

Becky Rene

Behind happy smiles and gay laughter

Lurked terrors I had to conceal

Yes, deep in my heart there were horrors

That I was ashamed to reveal

Yes there were.

Perhaps I'd be shopping at Macy's

Or lunching at Café Gitane

There were too many things to remind me

So I laughed just to hide up the pain

Yes I did, ha ha ha ha.

And while all alone in my boudoir

Preparing to lie in my bed

The ghosts of the past came to haunt me

They wouldn't get out of my head

So I'd cry, boohoo hoo hoo.

But when I made known all my terrors

The hurt and the pain was suppressed

The memories, of course, will stay with me

But the ghosts have been laid down to rest

Yes they have, they really have.

So express how you feel to our Father

Till the hurt and the pain is suppressed

No, it won't take away the bad memories

But it will lay the ghosts down to rest

Yes it will, it really will.

Behind happy smiles and gay laughter

Is a soul that found peace in the Lord

Yes, Jesus has borne all my sorrows

Yes, Jesus gave rest to my soul

Yes He did, He really did.

Now open your heart up to others

And pass on this message of hope

That Jesus will bear all their sorrows

And they will find peace for their souls.
