fighting the yoke – v6

speaking in public
wanting to be faithful
but straying in the world
wanting praise, attention
we call ourselves Christians
saved by Christ, made whole
by his sacrifice, his blood,
choosing submission
but perhaps buyer’s remorse
yanking at the bit
fighting the yoke
straying from the path
wanting to be faithful
but timid, rebellious
fighting the yoke
while working in the fields
