Jason Gray's acoustic song 'Easier (The Song of The Wiseman)' reflects on the tendency to offer gifts and actions rather than fully surrendering one's heart to God. Drawing from the perspective of the wise men, Gray admits that giving material offerings is easier than being vulnerable and open. The song acknowledges the fear that keeps us distant, but finds hope in the Christ child, whose innocence and humility overcome our guardedness. It encourages listeners to fall on their knees before the Prince of Peace, recognizing that only through childlike faith can we truly connect with God.

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
