Put Me Down

Written by Mark Mathes

Words and Music by Mark S Mathes 

VERSE 1:

I’ve been left behind, put down at times

There are days I just don’t fit

With the crowd that’s “in”

Or the latest trend

Sometimes those lies won’t quit

but I’m part of a group 

That’s watching and waiting

For their departure to leave the ground

On the roll that’s called up yonder 

put me down 

CHORUS

Put me down for what’s up

When the Lord says “children come”

Put me down for that final flight 

That follows God’s trumpet Sound 

I’ve been pushed and pulled from side to side

I’m on a list of lost and found

So if you’re looking up who’s Heaven bound 

Then Put me down

BRIDGE

Put me down for Jesus

put me down to carry my cross

put me down for surrender

Put me down, no longer lost
