Poetry
Sitting, unproductively
in the squalor that I see,
mountains of impossibility
loom over me, obstructing
my view of You.
This is the situation, but
I hear the invitation,
"Come unto Me, all of you who
are weary through and through,
take My yoke upon you, learn
from Me and I will give you rest."
A yoke, O Lord, a yoke,
how can it be that a yoke
of Yours can deliver me?
As I consider, I begin
to understand that being
in a yoke with You is
exactly what You've planned.
Together we do the work,
together we succeed,
together we move forward
meeting every need.
For in a yoke with You, my God,
are no impossibilities.
You are the only God,
there is none beside
Who puts rivers in the desert,
and turns the oceans tide.
It's You, my God, Who calls me
to come to honor You
and when I do...
You level out the mountains
and safely see me through.
Then, the work that seemed
impossible, is possible with You.
You are my Strength,
You are the Source
of everything I need.
The yoke that You invite
me wear, is very so lovingly
prepared so I can walk
close to You, as step by step
we share life's work together,
yoked with the God Whose
failure rate is absolutely never!
Now, O Lord, I understand
that Your yoke, that's in Your hand,
which I must willfully decide
to take upon myself, is designed
so that I may walk close to You
in Your chosen steps, with You
always by my side.
I tell You Lord,
I willingly oblige.
