This is a moving song by lance someone. It reminds us of how wicked we are and how amazing God's salvation is.
All my sin me every kind
All the thoughts that stain the mind
All the evil i designed... laid on Him
All the ways my feet have strayed
All the idols i have made
All the times i have not prayed... laid on Him
All the told and acted lies
All the success and all the tries
Sins that i legitimize... laid on Him
All that sinks me in the mire
All the times of base desire
All that offer a cleansing fire... laid on Him
All my misdirected powers
All my many wasted hours
All my dreams of ivory towers... laid on Him
All that makes my spirit cold
All that keeps me from the fold
All that dims my Father's gold... laid on Him
All the times i've grieved the Spirit
All the nature i inherit
All the punishment i merit... laid on Him
Laid on Him, God's own dear son
Laid on Him, the Holy One
Blotting out the noonday sun... when laid on Him!

Wow this is very powerful! Could you find out for me Lance's second name? It is both challenging and comforting. Biblical too!
We should thank Jesus every day for the truths of this song, but as the song says, even our failure to do that - is laid on Him!
Reminded me a little bit of what is probably Graham Kendrick's best song: 'For this I have Jesus' (though 'laid on him'is even more powerful):
For the joys and for the sorrows
The best and worst of times
For this moment, for tomorrow
For all that lies behind
Fears that crowd around me
For the failure of my plans
For the dreams of all I hope to be
The truth of what I am
For this I have Jesus
For this I have Jesus
For this I have Jesus, I have Jesus
(Repeat)
For the tears that flow in secret
In the broken times
For the moments of elation
Or the troubled mind
For all the disappointments
Or the sting of old regrets
All my prayers and longings
That seem unanswered yet
For this I have Jesus ...
For the weakness of my body
The burdens of each day
For the nights of doubt and worry
When sleep has fled away
Needing reassurance
And the will to start again
A steely-eyed endurance
The strength to fight and win
For this I have Jesus ...
Correction:
"All the punishment I merit ...
Laid on Him."
