rest in the yoke – v2

Rest in the yoke
in the arms of Jesus;
Let down your burdens
your walk in this life.

Rest in the yoke
in the arms of Christ;
The weight is easy
the way is not hard.

Rest in the yoke
in the arms of Christ;
Let go of your burdens
your walk in this life.

the beauty around us

mired in our struggles
our slogging through this life
looking down only
never looking up
the beauty around us
the hand of God’s creation
life, love abounding
while we are lost in our struggles
carrying far too much
not giving our burden over
to our King, Almighty God

mired in our struggles

lost in our own thoughts
not focused on living
mired in our struggles
our journey, the mud
needing to lift our eyes
to focus on Christ
the way through the darkness
focused on God’s love

exhausted

carrying our burdens
our weights around with us
not trusting in God
not giving our cares to Him
mired in our struggles
not seeing the whole world
the beauty that surrounds us
exhausted in our own paths
turning our back on God

not trying

not trying to figure it out
to reason it out
ourselves, our wisdom
turning it over to God
exhausting ourselves
worn out, carrying
the burdens with us
not giving them over to God
not trusting in His answer

rest in the yoke
