I was bound up in all my sorrow

I was carrying my tomorrow

When he said to me, “I can set you free

As for you, you should sing.”

Then he took my burdens, so I’m dancing

And he took my sorrows, so I’m laughing

If no one should sing, even the rocks would scream,

“Hallelujah! I’m not moving - except to dance.”

Well my hero’s name, his name is, “Rescue.”

And he said to me, “I think it’s best you

Laid your burdens down; I’ll carry that for now.

As for you, you should dance.”

Then he took my burdens, so I’m dancing

And he took my sorrows, so I’m laughing

When I’m weak he’s strong; here’s where I belong

Hallelujah! I’m not moving - except to dance.

I had worked so long I was weary

And I got nowhere, it was clearly

Just a waste of time, then I heard the Vine

Say to me, “you should pray.”

Then he took my burdens, so I’m dancing

And he took my sorrows, so I’m laughing

Now my work is prayer and he’ll get me there

Hallelujah! I’m not moving - except to dance!
