Lyrics
Chorus
Can. two. walk. except they agree
Take. my. yoke. to learn of me
A walk of faith not sight
The yoke is easy, the burden is light
Ask. seek. knock. drash diligently
Ref Amos 3:3,6; Mat 11:29-30, 7:7
Verse 1
Don’t want to walk, I want to stride
But I must kneel, To kill this pride
I'm not a man, I'm just a worm
I can only take him, at his word
Psalm 22:6, 1 Pet 5:6-8, Amos 3:7-8
Bridge 1
I lack wisdom (you can ask for it)
My faith is failing (seek his Holy Spirit)
My vision is obscured (look straight ahead)
Darkness clouds my mind (obey the words he said)
James 1:5,John 14:15-18, Deu 5:32-33, Eph 4:22-23
Pre chorus 1
There is a stench of sin in this city, the righteous tremble within
Why is my foot so steady, can I smell what I’m stepping in?
Arrogance is born a rebel and vanity a soulless pit
By following the pride of the blind, I’m certain to fall into it.
Jer 5:1-5,22-24,Eze 9:4, Micah 6:9, Mark 6:39-40
Verse 2
Enoch walked with YA, then he was no more
Noach walked with YA, the world was no more
Abraham walked before him, told to be tamiym
So am I commanded to do so humbly
Gen 5:24, 6:9, 13, 17:1, Micah 6:8
Bridge 2
Am I Seeking Justice (A cry that comes from YA)
Do I cherish mercy (you must hear the Rod)
Am I a stumbling stone (You must prepare your way)
Is my tongue a fire (tame the words you say)
Micha 6:8, Jer 18:15, 50:32,1 Pet 2:8, Jam 1:26, 3:6
Pre chorus 2
Corruption is the vice of the church, When Caesar's render is the measure of truth
The quandary of the needy is that YA commands provision through you
Ego protects a hardened heart priming the veins with intrinsic desire
Echoing off the stoney walls as a monotonic self centered choir
Mark 12:17, Mat 28:19, James 1:27, Psalm 95:8-11,
Acts 7:56-60
