Lyrics
My whole life I heard the stories Ma? said we were waiting for a Savior A Messiah who would bring Jews back their glory And punish sinners for their behavior But this promise wasn?t for us We were the outcasts, the sinners, the lost So tired of hoping, we gave up There?s no one to save us, or so we thought Now I'm getting ahead of myself Let's rewind a while back It was the morning of an average day Take the cash collect the taxes But day after day I grew weary It was starting to get serious In fact it was the tactic I was trapped collecting taxes A little extra in my pocket Made it all so hard to stop it So now I'm bound Only lost ones can be found My yoke is easy and My burden is light For My sake come away Follow Me out from the night I know you?re breaking Leave the taxes you collect For My sake come away Follow Me I'll give you rest, I?ll give you rest I?ll give you rest, I?ll give you rest Shocked I stood and swallowed then I agreed to follow Him Turning a new leaf here's to the new me Swing over my place, grab something to eat Come eat, my friend Come meet my friends Tell ?em what you told me Making sinners holy again Again again again My yoke is easy and My burden is light For My sake come away Follow Me out from the night I know you?re breaking Leave the sin and just confess For my sake come away Follow Me I'll give you rest, I?ll give you rest I?ll give you rest, I?ll give you Why does He eat with sinners? Why does He dine with rats? Son of God rollin? in the mud Would ya look at that, look at that Stop sit and listen Those aren?t sick don't need a physician I didn't come for the righteous But sinners to repentance Matthew give your all for Me Matthew will you follow Me? For what it's worth I'd follow to the end of the earth Because Your yoke is easy and Your burden is light For Your sake come away From this pitch black night You?re right I'm breaking Leave the taxes I collect For Your sake come awake Follow Me I'll give you rest I'll give you Rest I?ll give you rest I?ll give you Rest I?ll give you rest I?ll give you rest
