In this video we chat about another of Leah’s original songs, and then start playing it at minute 5:17. Lyrics below. Listen, enjoy, sing along, share.
Lyrics:
Chorus 1 (voice 1)
Come to me, come to me
Weary and heavy laden,
I will give you rest (2x)
v1 (voice 2)
My soul is tired today
My bones on fire today
Feelin’ forsaken today
Is that laden enough?
v2 (voice 2)
My mind is whirring today
My eyes are blurring today
My spirit’s wasting away
Is that laden enough?
Chorus 2 (voice 2)
Where is the rest?
Can I have the rest?
God, I need the rest
I’m weary and heavy laden,
will you give me rest?
Bridge 1 (voice 2)
I need the yoke that is easy
I need the burden that is light
I need a strong shoulder that can carry me
Through the dark deep of night
Give me the yoke that is easy
Give me the burden that is light
Give me a strong shoulder that can carry me
Through the dark deep of night
Bridge 2 (voice 1)
I’ll give you the yoke that is easy,
Give you the burden that is light
Give you a strong shoulder that can carry you
Through the dark deep of night
