the yoke
the yoke upon
the yoke upon the neck of the disciple
that neither our fathers nor we are able to bear

merciful god
this is a prayer

I can
i cannot
i cannot hide my sorrow from my friends and family
will love have the power to overcome despair

merciful god
this is a prayer
be not afraid for the pastures of the wilderness will spring

someone
someone told
someone told me i lost my sense of humor
i did a song and dance that made him laugh till he was scared

merciful god
this is a prayer
