“Come unto me and rest;
I bring good tidings of release
to you who are oppressed.”
I came to Jesus as I was,
weary and worn and sad;
I found in him a resting place,
and he has made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Behold, I freely give
the living water! Thirsty one,
stoop down and drink and live.”
I came to Jesus and I drank
of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in him.
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“I am this dark world’s light;
look unto me; your morn shall rise,
and all your day be bright.”
I looked to Jesus, and I found
in him my star, my sun;
and in that light of life I’ll walk
till trav'ling days are done. Topics: Call/Calling; Calm; Comfort; Darkness; Healing; Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ Light of the World; Living Water; Memorial; Peace of Jesus Christ; Refuge; Trust Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30 Used With Tune: THE ROWAN TREE
