Chorus / Description :
I've heard it said: the Gospel is rest
Oh, how I need it
Say it again 'til I believe it
Oh, how I need it
Oh, how I need it
(feat. Land of Color)
Lord, I've got the world upon my shoulders
But you've been saying "Child, put it down"
I prayed and prayed that you would take my burden
But you keep saying "Child, put it down"
Maybe I'm addicted to the worry
Maybe I'm a slave to holding on
Help me put it down
Help me put it down
I've heard it said: the Gospel is rest
Oh, how I need it
Say it again 'til I believe it
Oh, how I need it
Oh, how I need it
Lord you took the world upon your shoulders
Now all I have to do is put it down
I'm living like some weary beast of burden
And you keep saying, "Child, put it down"
Well, maybe I've been trying to be the hero
Fighting wars that you've already won
Help me put it down
Help me put it down
I've heard it said: the Gospel is rest
Oh, how I need it
Say it again 'til I believe it
Oh, how I need it
Oh, how I need it
Oh how I need
That peace that passes understanding
How I need it
Oh, how I need it
That peace that passes understanding
How I need it
Oh, how I need it
I've heard it said: the Gospel is rest
Oh, how I need it
Say it again 'til I believe it
Oh, how I need it
Oh, how I need it
Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
