Chorus / Description :
I won’t lean on
My own
Understanding
I will let go
Follow
Empty handed
You say Your yoke is easy
You say Your burden’s light
So I’ll let You
Lead me
For all my life
When my troubles are a little too heavy
Who I can turn to, to share the weight?
When my mind is cluttered and cloudy
Who can I turn to, to clear the way
Who can I turn to, I turn to You
I won?t lean on
My own
Understanding
I will let go
Follow
Empty handed
You say Your yoke is easy
You say Your burden?s light
So I?ll let You
Lead me
For all my life
When my past is still trying to haunt me
Who can I turn to, to give me grace
When my future is a little uncertain
Who can I turn to, turn to today
Who can I turn to, I turn to You
I won?t lean on
My own
Understanding
I will let go
Follow
Empty handed
You say Your yoke is easy
You say Your burden?s light
So I?ll let You
Lead me
For all my life
Some days are long, some work is tough
Whatever I lack You make it up
Your yoke is easy, Your burden is light
You gave me life, You give me love
Whenever I?m dry You fill my cup
Your yoke is easy, Your burden is light
I won?t lean on
My own
Understanding
I will let go
Follow
Empty handed
You say Your yoke is easy
You say Your burden?s light
So I?ll let You
Lead me
For all my life
I know Your yoke is easy
I know Your burden?s light
So I?ll let You
Lead me
For all my life
While writing songs in Nashville, Taya and her team had a session of conversation, personally for her is what God had to her upto that point of her life. And how the next chapter would be. John also had been thinking about some points "my yoke is easy" "my burden is light". The entire theme of the song is we do not lean on our own understanding. He doesn't leave us, when we lean on Him He will teach us walk and live the way he lives. The chorus is what is what Taya can stake her life upon, hopefully for many others who will also. When pressed down upon, even when we are faithless, He(God) remains faithful. we do not rely our own understanding, trusting in God we can confidently believe on the faithfulness of God.
