The Easy Yoke

You teach me silence as the rain falls,
And I bury my head deep down into
You,
And we sit and sit and sit.
Stillness.

Please teach me the way of Your rest,
Of living under Your burden.

Not under mine.

Your ways are more gentle,
You make me happy,
But give me more than happiness,
Joy.

And this outlives it all.
Amen.
