Dr Tumi Prepares To Soothe Souls With New Single ‘Lay It All Down’

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA. Dr Tumi Prepares To Soothe Souls With New Single ‘Lay It All Down.’ Renowned gospel artist Dr Tumi is set to release a deeply moving new single titled “Lay It All Down” this coming Friday, 13 June 2025. The song, rooted in scripture and soul, emerges from a place of vulnerability and compassion—a message for those carrying unseen burdens.

In an exclusive interview, Dr Tumi opened up about the inspiration behind the song.

“This song was born out of a very personal place,” he shared. “We all have moments where life becomes overwhelming and we just don’t have the strength to carry it all. ‘Lay It All Down’ is an invitation to come to Jesus just as you are and release every burden.”

Quoting Matthew 11:28, he added:
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. That’s the heart of the song.”

But this release is more than just music—it’s a call to healing, a spiritual lifeline for those quietly breaking under the weight of life.

“My greatest hope is that ‘Lay It All Down’ becomes a moment of healing for people,” he said. “It reminds someone who’s been holding back tears or putting on a brave face that they are not alone. Jesus is still the safest place to fall apart and to be restored.”

The writing process, according to Dr Tumi, was one of deep empathy and reflection.

“I’m in a season where my heart is aching for people,” he admitted. “I’m seeing and hearing so many express the difficulties of the seasons in their life, and it made me want to share God’s heart for them.”

The song is grounded in the promise of Psalm 55:22:
“Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.”

For Dr Tumi, “Lay It All Down” is more than a melody—it’s a message of hope, a sacred space for listeners to breathe, release, and remember that they are not alone.

“It’s not just about letting go,” he emphasized, “but about who you are giving it to.”
