“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11: 28 – 30

If I have ears to hear what this teaches, thank you, Lord, giver of ears.
If you hold out your hand and cry, Come, thank you, Lord, beckoner of undeserving souls.
If I am called to humility, to service, thank you, Lord, yourself, gentle and lowly.
If I can learn from you, thank you, Lord, the first fruits, the go-before, the vitality.
If your yoke is to be mine, thank you, Lord, the king.
If your yoke is easy, thank you, Lord, my father.
If your yoke is the privilege of sacrifice, thank you, Lord, rejoicer in joy set before you.
If the sacrifice is planned and agreed upon by Triunity, thank you, Lord, sovereign savior.
If the result is exceeding joy, thank you, Lord, author and audience to all our joy songs.
