O Jesus, I am often weary--
burdens of my own creation,
the yokes I hang upon myself.
Teach me how to trust in you,
pouring out my heart before you,
as you give me burdens I can bear.
Make me bold to ask for wisdom,
insight to act according to your will;
make me gentle and humble in heart;
give me rest you promise for the soul.
