Healing and Rest

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’m weary and my spirit sags,

But I can hear His voice

Reminding me that I am His,

So I choose to rejoice.

 

The labors of this world bear down

Upon us now and then,

But they are nothing compared to

The great burden of sin.

 

It weighs upon the heart and soul

Until they find no peace,

But, like the labors of this world,

He is sin’s one release.

 

Take up the burden of His love,

And live within His Grace,

Cast off the past and don’t look back

At the pain and disgrace.

 

In Him alone you will find rest,

And healing from the sin

That torments the body and soul,

Crushing the hopes of men.

 

Yes, I am weary in this life,

But I still hear His voice,

So I will claim His healing Grace,

Praise Him and rejoice!

 

Matthew 11:28-29

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
