At Your Feet ~

Lord, some days I get so tired,
I feel as if I’m beat
and so all my weariness
I place right at Your feet.

As soon as I release,
my troubles into Your care
I no longer feel as if . . .
their mine alone to bear.

When my days are hard,
and my nights are long
its You whom I count on
to help me to be strong.

As soon as I turn over,
all of my worries to You
there is not a single thing
I feel we cannot do.

When I look for comfort,
to ease my weary mind
Lord, I know at Your feet
peace and rest I will find!

“Come unto me,
all ye that labour
and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.”

Take It To The Cross ~

Whatever is your worry,
whatever is your care
take it to the cross . . .
and just leave it there.

For at the cross,
Jesus is waiting
to take every burden
on you, that’s weighing.

Whatever has you crying,
whatever has you sad
take it to the cross . . .
if you do, you’ll be glad.

For at the cross,
joy is yours to find
and the true peace of God
will fill your heart and mind.

Whatever is your burden,
whatever is your grief
take it to the cross . . .
whenever you need relief.

For at the cross,
Jesus will meet you there
and onto Himself
your burdens He will bear!

Oh, Weary Ones ~

Oh, weary soul,
burdened down one
there is rest to find
in God’s beloved Son.

For Jesus came,
to set you free
from all that worries
and stresses thee.

Oh, fearful heart,
scared and terrified one
there is light to find
in the life of God’s Son.

For Jesus came,
to show you the way
He brings hope to all
for a future brighter day.

Oh, weary soul,
dear fainthearted one
cast all your cares
onto God’s loving Son.

For Jesus came,
to give you rest
so His peace . . .
you could digest!

Come My Child ~

 

Come unto Me, My child . . .
such sweet music to my ears
Come unto Me, Jesus calls . . .
O’ how these words, I love to hear.

Come unto Me, My daughter . . .
such tenderness, Jesus has for me
Come unto Me, His words are like . . .
sweet nectar to a honeybee.

Come unto Me, My beloved  . . .
such comfort in three little words
Come unto Me, Jesus whispers . . .
O’ the sweetest phrase, I’ve ever heard.

Come unto Me, My little one . . .
such compassion, hope and love
Come unto Me, Jesus tells me . . .
sweet syllables falling from above.

Come unto Me, My child,
and I will give you rest . . .
Come unto Me, Jesus calls
O’ how my soul, these words bless!

The Arms of Grace ~

Throughout my life,
I have found a  place
where I can escape . . .
from the  rat race.

It’s a perfect spot,
to let it all go . . .
a space to unwind
so peace can flow.

It’s not very far,
it’s easy to get to
shutting my eyes . . .
is all I have to do.

In my mind I envision,
till my heart can see
my Lord and Savior
right here, next to me.

Before too long,
His presence is real
and His calmness
I begin to feel.

Throughout my life,
I have found a  place
where I can escape . . .
into the arms of grace!

Resting With Jesus ~

When your heart is troubled,
when you’re feeling dejected
know that with Jesus . . .
you will never be rejected.

When your soul is dismayed,
when you’re feeling depressed
know that with Jesus . . .
you will never be oppressed.

When your mind is dismayed
when you’re feeling frightful
know that with Jesus . . .
you will never be fearful.

When your spirit is discouraged,
when you’re feeling mirthless
know that with Jesus . . .
you will never be worthless.

When your heart is troubled,
when you’re feeling downcast
know that with Jesus . . .
you will never be an outcast!

Let Me Have That ~

Let Me have that,
put it right here in My palm
let Me take that from you
so I can pass to you My calm.

Give that to Me,
you don’t need to carry it
give it all to Me
in My hand, it will surely fit.

Place that right here,
don’t hang on to that thing
I want the all of it
so My peace, I can bring.

Let Me have that,
release it into My care
give it entirely to Me
for, your burdens I will bear!

Come Unto Me ~

Come unto Me,
draw close, come near
stop your struggling
My way is so clear.

I’ll take your load,
just give it to Me
stop striving yourself
to be worry free.

Seek no further,
search no longer
those who rest in Me
find they are stronger.

The peace you need,
just can’t be found
unless your heart
to me comes around.

I will end your doubt,
free you from sin
together we’ll work out
a new life within.

Weary, tired souls,
so many burdens to bear
come and leave them in
My merciful care!
