From Matthew 11:28-29: “[Jesus says] Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Walking
With weariness
Life’s heavy burdens
Causing missteps and stumbles
Coming
With light
Our Lord shines
Trusting always in Him
Casting
Our burdens
Upon His shoulders
Jesus will sustain us
Gentle
In spirit
Humble in heart
He will deliver us
Righteous
Reigning above
Immovable spirit
Lessens our taxing burdens
Jesus
Sending protection
The Good Shepherd
Caring for His flock
Sin
Washed away
By Christ’s blood
Our burdens grow lighter
Accepting
His Salvation
Following Jesus Christ
Our Lord and Savior
Patiently
Jesus waits
We come forward
Bearing one another’s burdens
Praying
With devotion
For one another
Reborn again through Christ
Christ
We believe
Follow God’s Son
Victory over our sins
