The Yoke
Here I stand holding baggage
Of years I can't even remember, long ago
So I'm bound to the ground
While the wind sings a sweet melody above me
Come wind, blow through me
You've been faithfully shadowing all of my wandering footsteps
A friend to me
You're finding a path far beyond all my insistent longings
To be free
Let your wind blow through me
'Cause you know
You are the yoke that frees my burden
You are the anchor that lifts me high
And though my heart can feel so heavy
You make it light, you make it light
Now your weight on my shoulders
Is not like the load I had taken on and tried to bear
No your love is enfolding me
Tight like a glove and it holds me
As light as air
And I want you to stay here with me
For you are the yoke that frees my burden
You are the anchor that lifts me high
And though my heart can feel so heavy
You make it light, you make it light
And Lord, when I am falling
Heavy like a stone to the stream
Let your clear currents flow over me
Carry me down to your weightless sea
'Cause you said you would be there when my faith is strong
Buoying me up when it's gone, long gone
No I can't see the way, but I know you're with me
For you are the yoke that frees my burden
You are the anchor that lifts me high
And though my heart can feel so heavy
You make it light, you make it light
For you are the yoke that frees my burden
You are the anchor that lifts me high
And though my heart can feel so heavy
You make it light, you make it light
You make it light, you make it light
You make it light
Of years I can't even remember, long ago
So I'm bound to the ground
While the wind sings a sweet melody above me
Come wind, blow through me
You've been faithfully shadowing all of my wandering footsteps
A friend to me
You're finding a path far beyond all my insistent longings
To be free
Let your wind blow through me
'Cause you know
You are the yoke that frees my burden
You are the anchor that lifts me high
And though my heart can feel so heavy
You make it light, you make it light
Now your weight on my shoulders
Is not like the load I had taken on and tried to bear
No your love is enfolding me
Tight like a glove and it holds me
As light as air
And I want you to stay here with me
For you are the yoke that frees my burden
You are the anchor that lifts me high
And though my heart can feel so heavy
You make it light, you make it light
And Lord, when I am falling
Heavy like a stone to the stream
Let your clear currents flow over me
Carry me down to your weightless sea
'Cause you said you would be there when my faith is strong
Buoying me up when it's gone, long gone
No I can't see the way, but I know you're with me
For you are the yoke that frees my burden
You are the anchor that lifts me high
And though my heart can feel so heavy
You make it light, you make it light
For you are the yoke that frees my burden
You are the anchor that lifts me high
And though my heart can feel so heavy
You make it light, you make it light
You make it light, you make it light
You make it light
