In his service, I’m called to give
Everything I am, every day I live.
It takes everything I have, and more,
And there are times when I’m
Just overwhelmed to the core…But…
CHORUS:
His yoke is easy, His burden light,
And I will run for Him with all my might;
And when my own strength fails
He’ll send down His power,
He’ll help me to fight a good fight:
His yoke is easy, and His burden light.
In my lifetime, other yokes I’ve worn –
Crushing burdens, heavy to be bourne:
The yoke of selfishness – of sin – of pride,
Till He came and freed me from the awful bonds
I felt inside.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
And I will run for Him, I’ll give my all,
And He will bear me up, and He won’t ever let me fall.
All He asks of me Is a willing heart to receive His call,
And He’ll make me equal to all He’s commanded me:
His yoke is easy, His burden light,
And I will run for Him With all my might;
And when my own strength fails,
He’ll send down His love –
He’ll draw me in close, hold me tight:
His yoke is easy,
And His burden is everlasting…
Light.
