I Didn’t Know lyrics

I thought that I was happy
Living here below
I thought that I could make it
Walking on my own
But then the Spirit whispered
"Friend, there's so much more"
So, I gave my heart to Jesus
He gave a peace like never before

I didn't know
That I was carrying a heavy load
Until the load that I was carrying was gone
I didn't know
I'd have the strength to walk the narrow road
Until the narrow road I started walking on
I didn't know the peace
The joy deep down inside
The sense of pure release
Until He opened up my eyes
Because I didn't know
That I was carrying a heavy load
Until the load that I was carrying was gone

Friend, you may be happy
And fully satisfied
As long as life is easy
You're rolling with the tide
But at the sign of trouble
Oh, friend, where will you be?
Won't you give your life to Jesus
Then you can say with me
I didn't know
That I was carrying a heavy load
Until the load that I was carrying was gone
I didn't know
I'd have the strength to walk the narrow road
Until the narrow road I started walking on
I didn't know the peace
The joy deep down inside
The sense of pure release
Until He opened up my eyes
Because I didn't know
That I was carrying a heavy load
Until the load that I was carrying was gone

I didn't know
That I was carrying a heavy load
Until the load that I was carrying was gone
I didn't know
I'd have the strength to walk the narrow road
Until the narrow road I started walking on
I didn't know the peace
The joy deep down inside
The sense of pure release
Until He opened up my eyes
Because I didn't know
That I was carrying a heavy load
Until the load that I was carrying was gone
I didn't know the peace
The joy deep down inside
The sense of pure release
Until He opened up my eyes
I didn't know
That I was carrying a heavy load
I didn't know
That I was carrying a heavy load
Until the load I was carrying was gone

I didn't know
That I was carrying a heavy load
Until the load that I was carrying was gone
It's gone
