ApologetiX Ease Your Burden
Ease Your Burden
Parody of "Beast of Burden" performed by The Rolling Stones and written by Mick Jagger & Keith Richards
(Matthew 11:28-30; Exodus 33:14; 1 John 5:3; Psalm 55:22, 81:6)
He said to me: Release your burden
Unpack it, bro, and quit exertin'
All I want is for you to place your trust in Me
He said to me: I'll ease your burden
We'll walk a while -- and meet in person (ooh!)
You've got a cross, but you can take it up with Me
Ain't life hard enough? Then why muck it up
With religious stuff? It's hard to find true peace
He set us free and eased our burdens
So let's go forth as godly servants
Newsies call us crazy, though
'Cause our Bibles, we love to read (yeah-eh)
Ain't life hard enough? Then why muck it up
With religious stuff? That's not too kind, you see
Ohhh, it's just a
Prickly, prickly, prickly, prickly, prickly, prickly world
It's a prickly, prickly, such a sickly, prickly, prickly world
Come on, baby, please, please, ease
I tell ya:
You can put me down -- for honesty
Put me down -- for the truth that I preach
But put me down, put me down, put me down as His redeemed
Ayy-ay!
False holiness likes to suck you down
No one feels happy tryin' to struggle on
There's something better -- Christ showed us the plan
You keep on following the vain designs of man
Ain't Christ's love enough? Ooh!
Ain't Christ's blood enough?
Ain't Christ risen up? He suffered enough
Ah ooh-ooh please
He said to me, I'll ease your burden
He said to me, I'll ease your burden
Never ever dare forget it -- Matthew 11:28
He said to me: I'll ease your burden
I want ya to smile -- I'll cease your hurtin'
Our Lord wants to save you from vain philosophy
Matthew 11:28
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
