Loretta Lynn’s Granddaughter Emmy Russell and Willie Nelson’s Son Lukas Nelson sings ‘Lay Me Down’ in honor of late country star Loretta Lynn. A quiet reminder of our own mortality and presents to us with the hope of beautiful heaven that awaits all believers in Christ.
The lyrics of the song ‘Lay Me Down’ are written in reflection and in the realization of how we are never really at peace and free from pain and sorrow until the day we passed on from this mortal world into heaven.
“This old world will turn around. I’ll be at peace when they lay me down. This life isn’t fair, it seems. It’s filled with tears and broken dreams. There are no tears where I am bound, and I’ll be at peace when they lay me down,” writes the author.
The two singers brilliantly captured the spirit of the song with their solemn performance, as does the lovely sound of the fiddle. It is sure to inspire the listeners, the longing for the final reunion with Christ and our loved ones who have already gone ahead of us.
