DON’T TRY SO HARD BY AMY GRANT

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

Mathew 11:28-30 (NIV)

I never had this song, Don’t try so hard by Amy Grant, as an option but it dawned on me that I needed to take you all to church today.

Why are you trying so hard? What are you trying so hard to do? I can go on to make this whole talk a long one but I think there’s really no need when I can tell you that trying to get things done is great but always know the place of the grace of God. He makes little things big.

Enough talking. The song is ‘Don’t try so hard by Amy Grant’.Β Do you think you can write about it? I amΒ Abuh Monday Eneojo. This is Daily Wisdom Words Music Prompt.

  1. Cry so hard, try so hard
    Come as ye are

    People pleaser; endured life O’ strife
    never good enough it seems, no matter how much ya care
    no matter what ya do for others, seems like everyone’s lookin with blind eyes
    at your love which seems disguised, in a world full O’ lack of love & affection
    misconceptions and assumptions that ye must have secret deceptions
    not good with spoken words, so ya show em with deeds, but still love sometimes hurts when ye have expectations for love in return
    thankful for Jesus, who showed the way the truth & the light
    unconditional love is how its done right!
    thank God for grace, It seems I too was lookin with “blind eyes”; in hind sight
    don’t need ta try so hard says HE, “blindness” only good livin in faith
    just walk in grace
    accept HIS love
    tis free ya see; he loves us eternally
    good enough just as I am; just as ye are
    so I let go; grow
    follow HIM

  2. Desiree

    You pull out all the stops with a smile
    No stone left unturned for awhile
    Hearts moving mountain clover
    Bent backwards over & over

    Boiled ocean heats my neck of the wood
    Painted lady short cut neighborhood
    One shot Mountain Back in three
    Broke a Desiree

  3. A word is just a word
    It becomes a concept when
    You put meaning on them
    It can englobe the world

    A paper is just a paper
    It can turn into a letter
    Whenever you fill it with letters
    It can turn you into a lover or a hater

  4. Beautiful Soul
    Where were we before time
    days seem as summer’s past
    as autumn’s loom
    caressed our sweet hopes.

    We move in graceful beauty
    as children wondering
    is love enough
    can it heal our yesterdays.

    You have everything inside
    such a gorgeous soul
    sing to us your delight
    no one is real without you.
