Takin' The Easy Way

All of my life, they said, "Be quiet"

Be quiet for cryin' out loud

Takin' the easy way isn't an easy way

Even a fool, when he is silent

People will think he is wise

Takin' the easy way isn't an easy way

In your footprints, this is what I read

Tell the children, tell them what I said

Tell all nations, tell them I'm not dead

My yoke is easy, yes, My burden's light

My yoke is easy and My burden's light

I might be taken by my sadness

And still be filled with joy

Takin' the easy way isn't an easy way

Hope of the hopeless I have taken

To sing my silent song

Takin' the easy way isn't an easy way

My heart's bursting, bursting with Your words

I will tell them, tell them what I've heard

So the brokenhearted will be cured

For there is healing, healing in Your wings

Yes, there is healing, healing in Your wings

So I take You into my weakness

I'm weak but You are strong

Takin' the easy way isn't an easy way

Learning of You has made me give up

Give up all that I am

Takin' the easy way isn't an easy way

Transformation in every word

Relocation, hell to heavenward

Education says that you're absurd

Takin' the narrow road isn't an easy way

Takin' the narrow road isn't an easy way

Takin' the easy way isn't an easy way
