My Yoke is Easy

At that time Jesus said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
“Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:25-30

My Yoke Is Easy

Oh the mornings I try to get up
yet pain and fear restrain me
facing a day of adversaries
is something I cannot do alone.

I bind myself to Jesus then
in treacherous times like these
when power and money control
love and compassion thrown aside.

Oh let me sing and dance again
with the joy that only God gives
in darkest night and hardest days
may I plow along side the King.

My burden may seem onerous
the strain the toil unending
yet God is working through me
love will certainly conquer all.
