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 received Your word

Break the yoke

I received Your word

Break the yoke



Praying with my brother

Was such aprecious 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 feel off

And Jesus set me free



Come and break the yoke, Lord

Come and set Your children free

Come tear down the walls of pride

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

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 forever

You broke the yoke
