[Verse 1] Men came down from Judea Teaching Gentiles must become Circumcised beneath the custom Before salvation could be won. Paul and Barnabas disputed; The church sent them to the seat Where apostles and the elders Would discern what grace complete. [Refrain] Why place a yoke upon the neck That neither fathers nor sons could bear? Through the grace of the Lord comes rescue, Jew and Gentile equal there. Why place a yoke upon the neck? Faith has purified the heart. God gave Spirit without distinction; Do not rebuild the wall torn apart. [Verse 2] Peter spoke of Cornelius. Barnabas and Paul declared Signs and wonders among nations, Evidence the Lord had shared. James recalled the prophets' promise: David's fallen tent restored, Gentiles seeking Israel's God And called beneath the holy Lord. [Chorus] No greater burden Than the needful things for peace: Turn from idols and from blood, From fornication, and increase In fellowship across the tables. Letters carried joy abroad. No greater burden Than the wisdom shaped by God. [Final Verse] Judas and Silas bore the message; Antioch rejoiced at consolation. The gospel remained grace, And unity survived deliberation.
