To pull together on a load
A wooden beam is made,
And on a chosen oxen pair
This custom yoke is laid.
They walk close together
As they head down the road.
Upon their strong shoulders
The heavy load is towed.
The oxen are trained
To follow a given command.
They will turn right or left,
Start up, or stop and stand.
In time they will anticipate
What the next move shall be.
This working has a rhythm.
Their cooperation you can see.
The work becomes easier
When two can share the load.
They’ll become a mighty team
When patient care is showed.
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
Matthew 11:28-30 NKJV
