Tuesday, February 4th | Mark 7

Passage:
6 And he said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written,
“‘This people honors me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me;
7 in vain do they worship me,
teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’

8 You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.”

9 And he said to them, “You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition! 10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ 11 But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever you would have gained from me is Corban”’ (that is, given to God)—12 then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother, 13 thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do.”

(Mark 7:6-13 ESV)

Lyrics:

Are you burnt out
On religious things
Are you worn down
Lacking inner peace
Take a real rest
Walk along with me
In the pastures of my presence
You can be yourself and you can

Say what's on your heart
I already know it all
Doesn't matter what you say
Come and get away with me
I know where you are
Where you've been and what you've seen
Doesn't matter how you come
Come and get away with me
Get away get away with me
(Get away get away with me)

Are you burdened
From all the heavy days
It's not your job
To shoulder all the weight
Let me do it
Let me come and take
The lies you've been believing in
The truth is that you have a place to

Grace upon grace upon grace
Let it lead
Get away get away with me
Grace upon grace upon grace
Let it lead
Get away get away with me
Grace upon grace upon grace
Let me lead
Get away get away with me

Say what's on your heart
I already know it all
Doesn't matter what you say
Come and say it all to me
I know where you are
Where you've been and what you've seen
Doesn't matter how you come
Come and get away with me
Oh come away come away with me
Get away get away with me

Prayer:
Father, what we know not, teach us; what we have not, give us; what we are not, make us; for the sake of your Son our Savior. Amen.
