His Yoke

Oh gentle Savior give to me

That yoke you promised;

light and free.

Trust me with your load of care

for others, Lord;

                                                Help me to share

                                                         their pains
                                                                         in mercy;

                                                    be their brace -

                                                               to bear their burdens, Lord

With grace.

And as you give Your heart to me -
open eyes, help others see

It’s You, in love, who bears MY pain

-with You in me e’en loss is gain.

And be my way as dim as night

Your yoke is sweet;

Your burden light.

Oh, open eyes that all might see

It’s You, my God

Who carries me.

Take my yoke upon you ... my yoke is easy and my burden is light." from Mt 11:29,30

                Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2

                         ...I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body,
                                     I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me
                                                and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20

ryc: I just happened to be at the computer installing something my dad sent me and "talking" to him on email, and I always have the xanga up... it dings or lights up when a new "sub" entry or comment comes in, so I got curious and went and looked....just in the right time and place! Hope the day went ok. Oh yes, btw, the poem IS partly a prayer...sometimes an urgent one! :) in Him, Gerrie

It is no longer I who live, but Christ in me - one of my favorites. I always think of Jesus saying: I of Myself can do nothing; the Father within Me.....

That's how I want my life to be.

Oh, this is almost a poem.....gives me ideas.....:)

Blessings.....

Be His forever.....

Debating on whether to comment or email...praise from you and Karen on my first posted poem means a lot to me, cuz you two are the BEST poets around here...(there are other good ones, but I like you two the best)! your poem is exactly my attitude, especially the last 2 verses...the ONLY good in me is Christ in me. Blessings and mazeltov(you know what I mean:)

I am always touched by your poetry. You have such wisdom in Christ, and I thank Him for you.

I have a friend here on xanga who enjoys writing music (she is a piano player/teacher) would you be offended if I suggested your site to her?

This one sounds like it wants a meldoy. I can almost hear it.

"...I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body,
I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me
and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20"

Sometimes I wish I could truely give up me living and allow Christ to live in me...I see verses like these and wonder how Truth evolved in Pauls mind and heart. I find myself wanting to exude this verse, but I also find it hard to allow me to die to myself that Christ might truely live in me...

Thanks for your comment on my site. I completely agree with you...the whole we would live as "independent" people/individuals diven by "self" is the direction in which my next post is written...or atleast the idea that I'm trying to convey.

Seems everywhere I go today
I see your seeds of grace
And when I read the things you say
I see God's smiling face

Blessings to you
For all you do

Ryc: Hi yourself:) Your hello meant a lot, because I'm at home sick today. Been reading fishtree and Breath of Dawn... Praise God for His patience.

RYC: Wow, you're right, Jim. And it goes right along with the idea of not having preconceived notions about what it is He is transforming us into, but just letting Him do the work.

And I'm not sure it's even work for Him. I am beginning to think that just the closeness, the union with Him is what does it. There are times when I know I am engulfed in His presence, gripped by what I call "the silence," not knowing what is passing between us, but knowing that I am held firmly in His embrace.

thank you jim :) I really enjoy your poetry.

This poem rings heavy in my heart, much like the beatitudes. I particuraly like the thought in Galatians 6:2 about bearing each others burdens as well as the ending......."Oh, open eyes that all might see It’s You, my God Who carries me."

Amen, thank you Jim for another beautiul thought

Thank you for visting my site and for awesome insights - I always pray to see as the blind man!

I love that poem Jim. My mom and I just finished reading a section out of a book we're reading called Velvit Elvis by Rob Bell....its and amazing book...and he was talking about the importance of sabbath in our souls and that kind of thing, so its interesting you speak of the burden being light and resting in Jesus! and about the song on my site, yup, that one has music and it will be going on the cd that my friend and I are making. we're gonna start recording next week!! her dad has it all set up for us now. we're gonna do a couple at a time. We won't be starting with that one though. we'll probably start with one called "Forgiven" by Tricia and one called "Dance" by me. talk to you soon ~Heather

ryc: Thank you so much! I really think it's prayer making the difference, even if it's only in me. btw, the kids wear lanyards to hold their lunch cards, and William's says "I love Jesus." I wonder if they're Christians. His parents came to open house, even his aunt and uncle! Very sweet people. I'll pray for you at work, too. God bless your day and the whole unit through you. Gerrie

Thanks for your visit and comment. Had my first day at the new place. I worry I oversold myself. Or my resume oversold me. I always worry about letting people down.

Please keep me in your prayers. I like this day thing. I'm remembering how much I love the 4am silence, the splash of splendor against the night sky in the canopy of stars. *sigh*
