It highlights the sufficiency of our Savior's love and encourages us to rest, believing that he is enough. The last verse captures our response of surrender and trust as we take up our cross and follow him. – Jordan Kauflin
Lyrics
Verse 1
Come unto Jesus, all you who are weary; come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel. Here, bring your wounded heart, broken and needy; come unto Jesus, mighty to heal.
Chorus
Come unto Jesus, come unto Jesus. Lay down your burdens— he is enough. Come unto Jesus, rest in his love.
Verse 2
Joy of the comfortless, Light for the straying, hope of the penitent, peace in our strife; here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying, "My yoke is easy, my burden is light."
Verse 3
Come taste the Bread of Life, broken for sinners; drink from the cup of his promise made sure. Feast at his table as sons and as daughters; grace overflowing is yours evermore.
Verse 4
Come now and follow him, this life forsaking; all that was gain, count as nothing but loss. Trade all this world for his kingdom unfading;
Coda
Come unto Jesus, take up your cross; come unto Jesus, take up your cross; life everlasting he offers to us! Come unto Jesus, come unto Jesus. Lay down your burdens— he is enough. Come unto Jesus, come unto Jesus. Lay down your burdens— he is enough. Come unto Jesus, rest in his love. Come unto Jesus, rest in his love.
Come unto Jesus, all you who are weary; come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel. Here, bring your wounded heart, broken and needy; come unto Jesus, mighty to heal.
Chorus
Come unto Jesus, come unto Jesus. Lay down your burdens— he is enough. Come unto Jesus, rest in his love.
