Chorus / Description : The song Easier (The Song Of The Wiseman) by Jason Gray explores the idea that it is easier to give material things than to open our hearts to others. It references the biblical story of the Wise Men who brought gifts to baby Jesus, highlighting the importance of giving oneself fully to others.
It�??s easier to give a gift of gold
Than to give my heart for another to hold
It�??s easier
It�??s easier to give you the things I do
Than to open my life and let you walk through
It�??s easier
Do I hide behind my offerings
While you�??re hoping for the heart of me?
Am I the only gift
That you long for me to give?
The weary wisdom of broken men
Says it�??s only the fool who rushes in
Only the fool
So it�??s easier to give you only a part
Than risk giving away my whole heart
It�??s easier, yeah, easier
Overcome by innocence
My wisdom becomes foolishness
Before the tiny babe
Born to give himself away
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming!
With glowing hearts by his cradle we stand
Fall on your knees
Fall on your knees
The conqueror comes in peace
Only a child could heal the wound
Of the fear that keeps me away from you
Only a child, only a child
He was only a child, only a child
