We've gone through some stuff this week

we've gone through some stuff this week 
that had us down on our knees 
the enemy's been working overtime 
to disrupt our inner peace 
but God's been on duty 
every single day 
deflecting demonic arrows 
coming our way 

He's taken up every yoke 
He's clipped every chain 
Every shackle He has broke 
In His son Jesus's name 

we've gone through some stuff this week 
that had knocked us down 
the enemy's been doing  its best 
to drive us into the ground 
but God has given us 
the strength to prevail 
to help us deal with our current hell

He's taken up every yoke 
He's clipped every chain 
every shackle He has broke 
In His son Jesus's name 

yes, life is a struggle 
challenges constantly arise 
we just need to keep our eyes on the heavenly prize
of God, the Creator of all life 
Who will protect us from any and all strife 

He's taken up every yoke
He's clipped every chain 
every shackle He has broke 
In his son Jesus's name. 

God's given us a renewal of hope 
and the resources to now cope 
for through Him we've been rectified
and because of Him now fortified 

He's taken up every yoke 
He's clipped every chain 
every shackle He has broke 
in His son Jesus's name 

no longer are we confined
by the challenges of life 
we're now able 
to have a freedom in Christ 

Yes the adversary's been on patrol 
But we know God's still in control 

He's taken up every yoke 
He's clipped every chain 
Every shackle He has broke 
In His son Jesus's name 

We've gone through some stuff this week 
yet we are still here 
striving and thriving
In the spirit of heavenly care 

He's taken up all of our yolks 
He's clipped all of our chains 
Every shackle binding us. 
He has broke 
In His son Jesus's name
