The Yoke (2016) 4.0’
This anthem presents my friend Dave Baldwin’s gentle meditation on Jesus’ words of comfort in Matthew 11:28-30. To paraphrase: “You are weary and burdened because you carry the heavy yoke of shame and guilt you’ve made for yourself! Now trade it for the easier yoke I will give you.” My musical setting reflects the comforting, pastoral tone of the lyrics.
SATB and piano
Jesus will lift our heavy burdens of shame and guilt.
