May.29.01: Light For The Day - "God's Invitation"

-- Matthew 11:28-30 (RSV)
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, 
and I will give you rest.
29 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.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

"God's Invitation"

"Come unto me weary one."
I heard the Master say.
"If you are tired and weary
come, I'll carry you today.

Don't be troubled in heart,
or live a life of fear.
Trust me dearly beloved
and know that I am near,

Believe my word, have faith"
says the Father to us all.
"I am never far away from you
I'll catch you before you fall.

My word will surely come to pass
they are all written stone.
I will keep every promise
and never will I leave you alone.

Come, my arms are open
Come rest upon my breast.
Though heavy the load may be
just remember its only a test.

Lean hard on me dear one.
and release all your cares.
I'll help you bear your burdens
just cast them to me in prayer."

-- John 14:27 (RSV)
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; 
not as the world gives do I give to you. 
Let not your hearts be troubled, 
neither let them be afraid."
