Rest from the burdens, the heavy loads of life, of our day to day, our lives cluttered filled by the urgent, not the important
Rest from the struggles, in the grace of simplicity the discipline of letting go, of setting down the unnecessary load, of picking up the yoke of Christ
Rest under his yoke, sharing the journey with our savior walking in his presence, in his light, transformed released of the loads, the burdens we have carried
Rest for the journey, focused, our eyes on him, our heart, our faces, set for Jerusalem, to his destiny understanding more fully, perhaps, the words of the master
Rest for today, for tomorrow, lives ordered by the rocks, by the important things of our walk, our days Rest in our Lord, under his yoke, together
