Break the Yoke

Standing up on the outside
Falling down within
Looking righteous as a Pharisee
But filled with guilt and sin
Trying to walk with Jesus
On a straight and narrow road
And holding onto this world
I just could not let go
That's such a heavy road

Come and break the yoke, Lord
Come and set this child free
Come tear down the walls of pride
And all I hide beneath
Freedom always came to those
Who receive the words You spoke
I receive Your word, break the yoke
I receive Your word, break the yoke

Praying with my brother
Was such a precious time
When I confessed my weaknesses
He joined his hands with mine
And I know something happened
When he prayed with me
The weight of sin fell off
And Jesus set me free

Come and break the yoke, Lord
Come and set your children free
Come tear down the walls of pride
And false humility
The nail scars in Your hands and feet
Prove Your love for us is not a joke
Do what You must, but break the yoke
Do what You must, but break the yoke

Now I'm back on my feet again
A new life's begun
Every day I'm walking with Jesus
But You know there are days we even run
Set free to serve and worship Him
All the chains He broke
I'll praise His name forever
He broke the yoke
I'll praise Your name Lord
You broke the yoke
You broke the yoke
