I received another video today from a sweet gal who recorded my son practicing to sing at her mother and brother’s baptism on Saturday. She started recording and then it shut off. She got it back on, but didn’t get the whole song– but most of it. Still……to see my son’s face and hear him singing….I don’t know, just brings a tear to my eye. How I love my missionary sons! One of the great rewards of motherhood.
The words to this song are beautiful. I have never heard this song, so I’m trying to find the words to it to post.
I hope you enjoy this little snipet!

In my son’s letter home today, he said that a lady from San Diego wrote this song. That’s why I couldn’t find it anywhere. ;o)
Here are the words. They are beautiful. I’ll have to find out her name so I can give her credit here!
Ye Heavy Laden
When shadows fall and darkness deepens
When faith is small and all seems lost
When the light in your eyes grows dim
And you can’t find a moments peace within.
In your despair longing for answers
Wearied and worn, forlorn in your grief
When relief from your suffering seems denied
And you can’t quell your questioning why
Will these sorrows never cease?
These burdens never ease?
Oh, hear the words of Christ
He lives to calm our cries:
Come unto me all ye that labor
Ye heavy laden and I will give you rest
Take my yoke upon you learn of me
For I am lowly of heart and meek
Come unto me all ye that labor
Ye heavy laden and I will you rest
Take my yoke find rest unto your souls
Ye heavy laden, come unto me.
In Christ’s despair facing Gethsemane
Wearied and worn, forlorn in His grief
Though relief from His pain was in His hands
He plead our cause unto God, a lowly lamb:
“Must their sorrows never cease?
Their burdens never ease?
Then let sins price be placed on me
That their souls might be free.”
Come unto me all ye that labor
Ye heavy laden and I will give you rest
Take my yoke upon you learn of me
For I am lowly of heart and meek
Come unto me all ye that labor
My yoke is easy and my burden is light
Take my yoke, find rest unto your soul.
Ye heavy laden, come unto me.
Beautiful, Denise! Thanks for sharing! I know how priceless a video like this would be for a missionary mom.
Wow, he is talented and I can imagine the tears in your eyes as you see this. In video they are so close and yet still so far. It is sweet that she thought to post this for you.
