Come to Jesus


Things don’t fall together they just fall apart And leave you bereft and alone
Weary and burdened  with a broken heart Reaping the bad seeds that you’ve sown
When Life wants to take its terrible toll-This one very thing is for certain
There is a real rest for your suffering soul-So come now and lay down your burden

Come to Jesus,  Come and let it all go
Go to Jesus  Lay it down and get low
He lives here in our place of need
His great desire is to see us freed
And His heart of compassion to know

Our filthy righteous rags he rends-For he does what he set out to do
The dirt of our soul he will cleanse-His compassion is faithful and true
So take on his glorious easy yoke-And your sick soul can finally find  rest
Our fallenness Christ can revoke-In his embrace we’re forever blessed.

Come to Jesus,  Come and let it all go
Go to Jesus  Lay it down and get low
He lives here in our place of need
His great desire is to see us freed
And His heart of compassion to know

You  who are heavy laden, come,  There’s relief from toiling in blindness
Though You are weary and fearful and numb-Come put on the yoke of kindness
Come fall into His mercy’s embrace To Him all your burdens release
Come sinner, and feed on the riches of grace, and your soul will then rest in peace.

Come to Jesus,  Come and let it all go
Go to Jesus  Lay it down and get low
He lives here in our place of need
His great desire is to see us freed
And His heart of compassion to know
