My Desire

Wishes are that I be near

Near enough to God to hear

His yoke I desire to bear

So that when ‘am in fear

Being neither here nor there

He as He assures, will care

Making dry my rolling tear

Making worthwhile the days that make my year

Wiping from me, the sin that has me in its smear

I desire to be near

Near enough to God to hear

“Well-done my son so

Matt. 11:29,30

²⁹ Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and   ye shall find rest to your souls;

³⁰ for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.(DARBY)
