Come, All I Say Is Come

(Inspired by Matthew 11:28)

Come, all I say is come— 

You weary souls weighed down by day, 

Whose burdens bend the back and heart, 

Whose dreams have dimmed along the way.

Come, all I say is come— 

You travelers lost in storm and strife, 

Who seek a shore, a steady hand, 

A breath of peace, a taste of life.

Come, all I say is come— 

Not for the strong who stand alone, 

But for the ones whose silent cries 

Have pierced the night with aching groan.

Come, all I say is come— 

I offer rest, not just relief, 

A peace that sings through storm and shadow, 

A grace that meets you in your grief.

Come, all I say is come— 

My arms are wide, my rest is near, 

No shame shall bar you from my grace, 

No fear shall drown what love makes clear.

Come, all I say is come— 

Lay down your load, your guilt, your grief, 

And find in me a gentle yoke, 

A healing touch, a soul’s relief.

Come, all I say is come— 

The door is open, light has won, 

You are not lost, you are not done— 

Come home, beloved. Come.
