"Double Yoked"



“Double Yoked”

 

cji

3/15/15

 

Coming into life pure

innocent to the world

yoked securely to Father

watched over always

then we age some

age eight again yoked

Savior to covenant

becoming a disciple

choices ours to make

right or wrong either;

 

Single yoked by choice

obedient in all things

doing Father’s will

as with the Son so us

innocence is fleeing

worldly evil tempting

struggles thus ensue

love sustains us now

our Savior side by side

still agency is ours;

 

Again we age mature

worldly bursts of storm

encircle us about

giving no peaceful rest

seeking to double yoke

satan calling his powers

seducing and darkening

pleading us to choose

evil, greed, lusts, power

double yoked in mud;

 

Choices each one

right or  wrong to make

while covenanted good

found obedient always

repenting quickly

never to linger down

single yoked today

our Savior and us

never yielding once

our choice is made!
