To Emulate the Savior

To emulate the Savior- how is this done?
He the great illustrator -and I just one
With unshaken faith and absolute trust
I'll repent with pure thoughts- I know that I must
For clean hands, I'll pray. On Christ I will cast
With Him, I'll press forward, unwavering and steadfast
With Him, I've sufficient strength that will last

"His yoke is easy and His burden is light"
Has meaning only in our faith in Christ
And if we are tortured and ridiculed
All the more so our eternal life is fueled
No matter what others may do to us
It's better to suffer than our faith to bust
For where we place faith, we live forever, thus

Lesson 11: Faith Sufficient to Obtain Eternal Life,”
Aaronic Priesthood Manual 3, 38


Matt. 11: 28-30

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour
and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you,
and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart:
and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
