The Weight Of The Words Lyrics

The Weight Of The Words lyrics

Sitting at the table in a kitchen conversation
You spilled the words you read
just yesterday
He said, "Be perfect, perfect as I am"
"How
can this be done," you ask, "when every time I try to be
Someone
with such a mastery, I see how weak I am"
I said, "See the sweet
dichotomy
Mercy mirrored in the face of impossibility"

The
weight of the words
Can crush you, they can break you
Or they can heal
and they can take you to the throne of grace
The weight of the words
Will
lead you like a beacon
When your strength is finally beaten by the weight of
the words

And so the constant struggle to remind each other of the
fact
That the rest is easy on the shoulders of the One who came
To pay
for what we lack
Now our welcome burden is to strive with humble
gratitude
We cannot take lightly what He carried on His back
Can you feel
the gravity
Compelling mystery
Life for those who will believe

The
weight of the words
Can crush you they can break you
Or they can heal and
they can take you
To the throne of grace
The weight of the words
Will
lead you like a beacon
When your strength is finally beaten by the weight of
the words

The rest is easy
His rest is easy
Are you
weary

Can you hear the words that lift the burden
Do you feel the
gravity
Compelling mystery
Life for those who will believe

The
weight of the words
Can crush you they can break you
Or they can heal and
they can take you to the throne of grace
The weight of the words
Will lead
you like a beacon
When your strength is finally beaten by the weight of the
words
