Clap Your Burden Down

Hey, clap, clap, clap, clap
Clap your burden down
Who came in heavy? (Me)
Who came in tired? (Me)
Who came in tangled? (Me)
Who brought a boulder? (Me)
Who is leaving lighter? (Me)

Monday put a boulder on my back
Tuesday brought it friends
Wednesday I was dragging every sack
Thursday thought it never ends
Friday found me kneeling by the door
Saturday I heard a sound
Sunday morning I walked in the house
And the whole room shook it down

Put your hands where the heavy is
Now lift them, lift them high
Whatever you came in carrying
Leave it by the door and fly
You do not need it, you do not need it
You do not need it, you do not need it

Clap your burden down, down, down
Clap your burden down (down, down)
Stomp it in the ground, ground, ground
Clap your burden down (down, down)

Jabulani, jabulani (hallelujah)
Jabulani, jabulani (hallelujah)

Brother in the third row, bills in his shirt
Sister in the fourth, a letter from work
Mama in the back with a name on her lips
Deacon by the window holding his hip
Little girl in front with her shoes on wrong
Singing every word of the Sunday song
Nobody here is carrying light
So nobody carries it alone tonight

Put your hands where the heavy is
Now lift them, lift them high
You do not need it, you do not need it
Leave it by the door and fly

Clap your burden down, down, down
Clap your burden down (down, down)
Stomp it in the ground, ground, ground
Clap your burden down (down, down)

Jabulani, jabulani (hallelujah)
Jabulani, jabulani (hallelujah)

Left hand, right hand, clap and go (go)
Hey! Come on, church, come on
Back row, front row, let it show (show)
Twende, twende, go on, go (go)
Everybody say it, now you know (know)
Hands up high and the feet say yes
Shake the dust off, shake off the rest

I laid mine down on a Tuesday night
The whole thing weighed less than my shoe
All that time I was bending my back
For a load that was already through
Hallelujah, it was already through
Hallelujah, it was already through
Clap your burden (down)
Whisper it (down)

Clap your burden down, down, down
Clap your burden down (down, down)
Stomp it in the ground, ground, ground
Clap your burden down (down, down)

Jabulani, jabulani (hallelujah)
Jabulani, jabulani (hallelujah)

Jabulani, jabulani (hallelujah)
Jabulani, jabulani (hallelujah)
Clap your burden down
Jabulani, church, jabulani
Clap your burden down, church
Clap your burden down
