Coming soon to a couch near you! We’ve been booking some intimate home shows in the Portland area this summer and are looking for some more homes to invade. So if you would like to host an Acoustic Living Room Concert please let us know!
Yoke (Official Music Video)
This was the first “official” video that my good friend Jeff Huit and I attempted to make together. We chose the hit favorite “Yoke” from the album Coffee Shop Songs and it is available now on iTunes and Amazon.
The video was filmed and edited by Jeff Huit, and shot on location in downtown Portland, Oregon.
The song was produced by Nick Garrett-Powell and Dawson Cowals and features both Nick and Dawson on acoustic guitars.
Lyrics
Yoke
Watch the days so like the waves
Come crashing down
Only to turn around slide out the same
Way in retreat
Just like your hopes and dreams, they’re tossed about
By the bitter seas
Leaving the salty tears of fear and doubt
There on your cheeks
But he says
My yoke is easy
My burden is light
Let your heavy load fall
Find peace tonight
On a broken, scarred back with hands nailed wide
He lifted all the weight
Of everything you and I will ever do
So why hesitate
In taking him at his word or refuse to give
The benefit of the doubt
When he says I’m the life, the way and the truth
Believe and you will live
Don’t you see
This yoke was made for two
You’ll never be alone
He’s there to carry too
So all your worries, now
Just lay them at his feet
And you’ll find peace
Come unto me all heavily laden
I’ll give you rest
Matthew 11:28-30; John 14:6; Romans 5, 10:8-13
