I lay in the sun. (The verb in this sentence is intransitive, meaning it does not have an object, so you should use the past tense of the verb to lie, which is lay. The similar-meaning verb to lay, the past tense of which is laid, is a transitive verb, so the subject of the sentence would need to lay something "in the sun.")

Can you tell me if I've used the word lay correctly in the following sentence 'The two bags lay abandoned on the ground in front of them'?

This is a correct sentence. Lay is the present tense and that is how you have written the sentence. You could also write 'The bags were laid out abandoned in front of them' in the past tense, but this implies someone has done the 'laying' and as such lacks the true sense of abandonment your sentence offers - as if the bags had been there for some time, just 'laying' around.
