Child, come as you are

1.16.17

Come out of sadness from wherever you’ve been. Come brokenhearted, let rescue begin. Come find your mercy. Oh, sinner, come kneel. Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal.

Lay down your burdens. Lay down your shame. All who are broken, lift up your face. Oh, children, there’s a home. You’re not too far. Lay down your hurt. Lay down your heart. Come as you are.


There’s hope for the hopeless and all those alone. Come sit at the table; come taste the grace. There’s rest for the weary, rest that endures. Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t cure.


Lay down your burdens. Lay down your shame. All who are broken, lift up your face. Oh, children, there’s a home. You’re not too far. Lay down your hurt. Lay down your heart. Come as you are.


Come as you are. Fall in his arms. Come as you are.

There’s joy for the morning. Oh, child, be still. Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal. Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
