[Verse 1]
I’d heard all the words
But I didn’t know the meaning
Sat through the sermons
Just spent my time daydreaming
Then I saw a broken soul
Down on their knees
Finally letting go
And I heard…
Chorus]
“Come unto Me, all you who labor
And are heavy laden, and I will give you rest
Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me
For I am gentle and lowly in heart
And you will find rest for your souls
For My yoke is easy… and My burden is light”
[Verse 2]
I carried my pain
Like a stone upon my shoulder
The nights grew colder
And the days just felt older
But I heard His voice
Through the noise and the fight
Calling out my name
Through the darkness into light…
[Chorus]
“Come unto Me, all you who labor
And are heavy laden, and I will give you rest
Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me
For I am gentle and lowly in heart
And you will find rest for your souls
For My yoke is easy… and My burden is light”
[Bridge – soft to strong build]
He’s calling the weary
He’s calling the weak
The broken, the lost
The ones who can’t speak
His arms are open
His mercy is wide
Step into His grace
And lay it all aside
[Final Chorus sung with passion, can repeat]
“Come unto Me, all you who labor
And are heavy laden, and I will give you rest
Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me
For I am gentle and lowly in heart
And you will find rest for your souls
For My yoke is easy… and My burden is light”
[Outro – gentle fade]
Rest for your soul…
Rest for your soul…
In Jesus…
