This week’s featured song story comes to us from TAYA We’re excited to share with you the story behind her song “For All My Life.”
“For me it was about what God had done in my life up until this point and what this next new season was going to be. There’s a whole bunch of unknowns. Matthew 11:28 says, ‘my yoke is easy, my burden is light.’ That’s kind of the overarching theme of the song: that we don’t lean on our own understanding but we lean into God. He doesn’t leave us by ourselves to try and figure this out but if we surrender ourselves then we’re yoked with Him which means we’re actually learning how to walk the way that He would, teaching us to walk in the unforced rhythms of grace.“ – TAYA

“For All My Life” Lyrics
When my troubles are a little too heavy
Who I can turn to, to share the weight?
When my mind is cluttered and cloudy
Who can I turn to, to clear the way
Who can I turn to, I turn to You
I won’t lean on
My own
Understanding
I will let go
Follow
Empty handed
You say Your yoke is easy
You say Your burden’s light
So I’ll let You
Lead me
For all my life
When my past is still trying to haunt me
Who can I turn to, to give me grace
When my future is a little uncertain
Who can I turn to, turn to today
Who can I turn to, I turn to You
Some days are long, some work is tough
Whatever I lack You make it up
Your yoke is easy, Your burden is light
You gave me life, You give me love
Whenever I’m dry You fill my cup
Your yoke is easy, Your burden is light
I won’t lean on
My own
Understanding
I will let go
Follow
Empty handed
You say Your yoke is easy
You say Your burden’s light
So I’ll let You
Lead me
For all my life
I know Your yoke is easy
I know Your burden’s light
So I’ll let You
Lead me
For all my life
