So I've Been Told

Last weekend, an old friend and I had a chat about what worship truly is and what worship music sounds like. As we both sat and agreed that most worship music is too light, too perfect, and way too happy, I started thinking about what the music I wrote would look like if I actually wrote it from my heart. If I wrote what I was feeling.

This is part of what came out of that.

So I've Been Told

I have been taught
All my life, all my life
That God brings joy
His yoke is easy
And His burden
It's so light

I've been lied to
By people I trusted
They preach joy
But show only sorrow
So where's the proof?
Why aren't you light?

You have given me more
More than I can handle.
You show me more love
More than I care to have.
Keep Your mission
I want out.
