Come to the Lord

“Let all who put their trust in You rejoice. Let them shout for joy forever because You cover them. Let those who love Your name be joyful in You.” (Psamls 5:11).

Life passes quietly through the years,
Sorrows weigh on me alone, my soul desolate.
My heart is filled with longing,
Longing for rest, for peace within.
My heart stirs, waiting in hope.

Then the Lord came, seeking after me.
Gently, He called, so tender, so earnest.
He called me to rest by His side.
My sins, He erased by His grace,
And from that moment, made my spirit new.

Come to the Lord, my soul forever,
At peace in the love He gives.
Come to the Lord, no more longing,
Years fulfilled in the joy of His love.
Though the journey may bring hardships,
The Lord still walks right beside me,
My heart secure, leaning on Him.

Come to the Lord, my soul forever,
Singing praises to Him alone.
May my heart never stray from the Lord,
Bowing low, always obeying Him.
So deep is the love of Jesus,
Who died to redeem my soul.
From this day forth,
May my soul never part from Him.
