Share My Yoke - Joy Webb arr. Ivor Bosanko

SHARE MY YOKE

I am dedicating this performance to my wonderful mother. She's given me so much over the years, I can't even begin to repay her. Years of lessons, sitting through rehearsals, driving me to everything. She always made sure I had the resources I needed to thrive... I wouldn't be where I am today without all of that.

Thank you to Ken Wyatt for playing piano for this!

Lyrics:
When I'm tired and nothing's going right for me;
When things I've counted on just do not come my way;
When in my mind the thick grey folds of doubt arise,
It's then I seem to hear him say:

Share my yoke and find that I am joined with you.
Your slightest movement I shall feel and be there too!
Share my yoke and come the way that I must go!
In our "togetherness" my peace you'll know;
The world beholding us will see it so!

When I'm perplexed and no one's understanding me;
When even safest thoughts collapse in disarray;
When I've lost the things that always seemed so sure,
It's then I need to hear him say:

Share my yoke and find that I am joined with you.
Your slightest movement I shall feel and be there too!
Share my yoke and come the way that I must go!
In our "togetherness" my peace you'll know;
The world beholding us will see it so!

When I'm alone and nothing's getting through to me;
And isolation that increases day by day;
When closest friends can seem a thousand miles away,
It's then I long to hear him say:

Share my yoke and find that I am joined with you.
Your slightest movement I shall feel and be there too!
Share my yoke and come the way that I must go!
In our "togetherness" my peace you'll know;
The world beholding us will see it so!

Really nice playing! I especially like the long phrasing. Great job!
