light is the load – v3

Light is the load
which God gives to us,;
Nothing like the load
we choose to carry

Trust is the mantle,
forgiveness is the yoke;
Submission is the burden
the only load we are given

Giving our lives over
while we walk the earth;
The load is light the burden easy,
that which is given by God

The mantle, the yoke,
which is given to us by God;
In the way of love the way home,
easy is the load
