Verse 1

Praise the God who is trading
Tears for laughter
Pouring out His anointing
The oil of gladness
A crown of beauty for ashes
From shadow valleys to pastures
Praise the God who is lifting
The heavy sadness

Verse 2

Praise the God who’s rebuilding
The ancient ruins
All our desolate places
Our God’s renewing
Every dream we have buried
The heavy yoke we have carried
The years we thought had been wasted
Our God’s redeeming

Chorus

So let it go and feel
The joy of surrender
The easy yoke look
At Him and remember
He alone knows
The past and the future
He’s on His throne holding
All things together

Verse 3

Why would I need to worry
The Father loves me
The world around me is raging
But God is laughing
The sun goes down every evening
But still comes up every morning
For those who wander in darkness
The light is dawning

Chorus

So let it go and feel
The joy of surrender
The easy yoke look
At Him and remember
He alone knows
The past and the future
He’s on His throne holding
All things together

Oh my soul
Give Him glory lift Your voice
He’s worthy of
A shout of praise a joyful noise
A freedom song
Oh my soul
The heavy yoke is gone
