Take It Easy by The Porter’s Gate (featuring Matt Maher and Paul Zach) might set theology radars off for what it doesn’t say.
But I like what it does say.
A whole lot.
I try to express something like this every time God’s people gather.
If you attend MGPC you may hear this song sometime in the future.
If you don’t here the song, rest assured you’ll keep hearing its message.
The lyrics:
Take it easy, easy
God already loves you completely
Take it easy, easy
Rest in the shade of his wings
Lay down your burdens and rest for a while
The shepherd who seeks you is gentle and kind
There’s nothing to pay for and nothing to earn
And nothing you have to become
Lay down the scales where you weigh out your life
The measures are empty just leave them behind
The distance between his two hands are enough
To tell you the depths of his love
Lay down the armor you brought to the fight
Lay down your weapons and lay down your strife,
God’s on your side and he won’t let you go
He already loves who you are
Won’t ask you to be something more . . .
