You say Your yoke is easy
You call Your burden light
So why is life so difficult?
Why is it such a fight?
The world keeps on attacking
Temptation makes its plight
The Darkness overwhelms us
But you still call it Light*
What makes Your law no burden?
How can our love be true?
My God, my God has conquered
From death to life we move
Because you overcame the world
The victory is sure
And when we place our faith in You
You help us to endure
You say Your yoke is easy
You call Your burden light
Perhaps it's not the struggle,
But Your promise through the fight
"His commandments are not burdensome. For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world-our faith." - 1 John 5:3-4
Thank you for keeping up with this blog, Mark. I love your posts--the Lord has gifted you in a special way in your ability to communicate both prosaic insights and also to craft incredibly meaningful poems. I really am thankful for this.
