I tried keeping rules, and working my head off To please God, I tried opening gates, and digging those ancient wells Quite a lot But it wore me out, It just wore me out! So I QUIT being a "law man" So I could be God's man. I've stopped all my striving I've been crucified with Christ with Christ We are a New Covenant people A royal priesthood A holy nation God's special possession Called out of darkness Into His wonderful light! I tried pushing through, to get up a level or two To please God I tried pulling things down, and breaking up dry hard ground Quite a lot But it wore me out, It just wore me out! So I quit with the pushing Now that I'm trusting I've stopped all the stressing Now I'm going to rest in Christ, In Christ! The heavens are open The wells are springing For two thousand years There's been an outpouring It's bigger much bigger Than a series of meetings It's all over the earth!
