Who is this Jesus,
a gentle and humble
King and Lord?
Who invites me to just come and find rest,
Who asks me to keep company with Him
Who doesn't load me up like the rest
Who is this Jesus?
Who offers to swap His yoke
for the ones I've carried for far too long,
Who stands with tools ready
to chisel and shape the yoke,
and me, to fall together into an easy rhythm
Who is this Jesus?
Whose carpenter hands
have made me a yoke
that rests easy,
that is designed for me,
that allows me to easily bear
the burdens He also designed for me

Who is this Jesus?
Who invites me to learn from Him,
to lean into Him,
To learn His ways, His heart for me,
to learn how to carry well this load
that He has given me
Who is this Jesus?
Who, in His mercy,
shows me the yokes I put on myself,
and the yokes that others asked me to carry,
Who, in His grace,
gives me a yoke that just works
Who is this Jesus?
Who lifts from my shoulders
those things He didn't put there?
Who lifts the weights and burdens
I thought were from Him,
taken on by me, in pride,
now thrown at His feet
Who is this Jesus?
Who wants to teach me
the unforced rhythms of grace?
To teach me how to live freely,
to carry lightly, to work with Him,
to follow where He leads
Who is this Jesus?
My Carpenter, My Yoke-Bearer
my Friend, my Teacher,
my Shepherd, my King
Yes, He is the good Shepherd who walks with you through the valley of the shadow of death and anoints your head with oil. And His rod and staff comfort you. Thank you Jesus.
