Break The Yoke
Words and music by Ray Boltz
Standing up on the outside, falling down within
Looking righteous as a Pharisee, but filled with guilt and sin
Trying to walk with Jesus on a straight and narrow road
And holding onto this world, I just could not let go
That's such a heavy load
Come and break the yoke, Lord
Come and set this child free
Come tear down the walls of pride
And all I hide beneath
Freedom always came to those
Who received the Word You spoke
I receive Your Word, break the yoke
Praying with my brother, was such a precious time
When I confessed my weaknesses, He joined his hands with mine
And I know something happened when he prayed with me
The weight of sin fell off
And Jesus set me free
Come and set Your children free
And false humility
The nail scars in Your hands and feet
Prove Your love for us is not a joke
Do what You must but break the yoke
Now I'm back on my feet again
A new life's begun
Everyday I'm walking with Jesus
But You know there are days
We even run
Set free to serve and worship Him
All the chains He broke
I'll praise His name forever, He broke the yoke
I'll praise Your name Lord, You broke the yoke
You broke the yoke
