Lyrics
EASY
(chorus)
Easy. You rush and hurry.
Easy. You whine and worry.
Lift that trouble from your heart and walk it to the Lord.
Easy. You sigh and sorrow.
Easy. You dread tomorrow.
Lift that trouble from your heart and walk it to the Lord.
Why not give away your troubles like they were a gift?
Jesus takes them, smiling, while he gives your heart a lift.
Repeat Chorus
If you?re feeling cold and hidden in the dark of night,
Give your hand to Jesus, let him walk you to the light.
Repeat Chorus
