mySongs: Come to me

Come to me,
you who are weary
I shall give you the peace that you seek

Come to me,
you who are burdened
For I shall give you the rest that you need

My Love will cover you
and it will fill your soul

Come to me,
you who are blind
I shall open up those sightless eyes

Matthew 11:28 – Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

just wrote this not too long ago. still a work in progress. just got in touch with an old friend from my ‘A’ level days. lost touch with her and the rest of the guys after i dropped out from Jurong Institute. anyway, some stuffs she told me… hmm. let’s just say that i got inspired to write this song.

this song is not just for her. it’s for all, including myself, who’s weary, burdened and tired with what the world has to offer. it’s for those who are seeking, who are looking for a place to rest. for those who don’t know to whom to turn to when everyone seems to have turned their backs against you.

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures,he leads me beside quiet waters,

he restores my soul.He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

- Psalm 23
