We The Kingdom's song 'Stranger' offers a gentle invitation to the weary and burdened, presenting Jesus as the Giver of life who offers rest. The lyrics use imagery of a traveler, sailor, and storm to convey life's struggles, then pivot to a declaration that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. The song encourages listeners to lay down their troubles, anxieties, and burdens, and to open their hearts to God's love. It emphasizes surrender and renewal through the Spirit, providing a message of hope and peace for those feeling overwhelmed.

Stranger
Weary traveler
Here's some water
Brother sister
Rest your shoulders
Been a long night
But it's almost over
His yoke is easy
His burden is light
Lay down your troubles
To the Giver of life
Sailor
There's lighthouse
In the distance
Storm's a blowin'
Seas a ragin'
But you can make it
Sail on my friend
Sail on, sail on
His yoke is easy
His burden is light
Lay down your troubles
To the Giver of life
Oh His yoke is easy
His burden is light
Lay down your troubles
To the Giver of life
Open your heart up
Open your mind up
Open your spirit
O can you hear it?
Open your soul
To the love of God
Play on
The music played on
Oo
Oo
Transform my mind out of the renewing of Your Spirit God
I lay it down. Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down
Every burden on my heart lay it down. Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down
Every burden on my mind lay it down. Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down
All my anxieties I lay it down. Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down
His yoke is easy (whoo)
His burden is light
My Spirit Is Light In Your Presence God
Lay down your troubles
Oh to the Giver of life
He's the Giver of life
His yoke is easy
Oh His burden is light
I can feel Him working in my life, in my life
Lay down your troubles in my troubles God, every trouble Lord
To the Giver of life
To the Giver of life
