My burden is light

Come, beloved,
I know you’re tired.
I know you’re weary.
I know you’re burdened.

Come. I’ll give you rest.

Here’s my yoke—
take it and learn from me.
You know I’m gentle,
caring, and humble.
You’ll find rest;
Rest for your soul.

My yoke is easy—
you’re constrained under it
but I bear the load.
My burden is light—
I do the heavy lifting.
