11. Come Unto Me

(Matt. 11:28-30)

Out of Me, you want to be a hero.

Away from Me, you want to just have some fun.

Instead of Me, your days add up to zero.

Leaving Me, this walk becomes a run.

Run away from the pain. Run away from it all.

Run away from the game. Run away just to fall.

Come into peace. Come into rest. Come on into Love.

Come unto Me.

Depart from me, this world of many troubles.

Get lost from me, all the things that bring me down.

Wash me clean of all the faces of evil.

Lord, bury me into your holy ground.

Come unto Me all you who are weary. There’s something that you’ve missed.

Take my yoke and learn from Me and your soul will find its rest.

He bore the pain. He took it all. He won the game. So we would not fall.
