Matt Maher's song "Take It Easy" gently invites listeners to release their burdens and rest in God's complete love. The lyrics emphasize that there is nothing to earn or become, as God already loves us fully. Imagery of laying down armor and scales suggests letting go of striving and self-judgment. The repeated call to rest in the shade of His wings echoes Psalm 91, offering peace and assurance. The song's calm, reassuring tone encourages trust in God's care and presence, making it a soothing anthem for those feeling weary or anxious.

Take it easy, easy
God already loves you completely
Take it easy, easy
Rest in the shade of his wings
Lay down your burdens and rest for a while
The shepherd who seeks you is gentle and kind
There's nothing to pay for and nothing to earn
And nothing you have to become
Take it easy, easy
God already loves you completely
Take it easy, easy
Rest in the shade of his wings
Lay down the scales where you weigh out your life
The measures are empty just leave them behind
The distance between his two hands are enough
To tell you the depths of his love
Take it easy, easy
God already loves you completely
Take it easy, easy
Rest in the shade of his wings
Lay down the armor you brought to the fight
Lay down your weapons and lay down your strife
God's on your side and he won't let you go
He already loves who you are
Won't ask you to be something more
Take it easy, easy
God already loves you completely
Take it easy, easy
Rest in the shade of his wings
Take it easy, easy
God already loves you completely
Take it easy, easy
Rest in the shade of his wings
Rest in the shade of his wings
Rest in the shade of his wings
