Yoke of Yeshua

"God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as He did unto us; and put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?" (Acts 15:8-10). "Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light" (Matthew 11:29,30).

The yoke of the Law demanding perfection
Could only be borne by Yeshua, God's Son.
Jesus now bids us to make our selection,
Choosing the yoke of His grace to put on.

Come to the Savior; partake of His rest.
His yoke is easy; His burden is light.
Among every love, His love is the best,
Lowly, yet lifting us to heaven's height!
