About This Song


Sometimes we get stuck in all the crazy, and we forget who we really are. When we choose to let God's stillness in (even when everything around us is still chaotic) things change. God reminds us who we really are and we find perfect rest.

Your song has a very good melody, performance and music as well.  The text has a good rhyme, and the content is true.

Verse 1:
Come to Jesus, you will find rest
He is waiting, you’re an invited guest
It’s liberating
He’ll never let you go
You don’t have to struggle on your own.
Come to Jesus, trust and obey
Let God hold you, submit to his way
He’s your protection
He’ll never let you go
You don’t have to struggle on your own.

Chorus:
‘Cause Jesus when I’m here, here in your presence
There’s complete safety and I can let go
Release my burdens
And I know that as I draw near to you
Jesus you give the blessing of your rest
Your perfect rest.

Verse 2:
Come to Jesus, quietly wait
He is present here in this place
He is your refuge
He’ll never let you go
You don’t have to face today alone.
Come to Jesus, come now, today
Let God soothe you, don’t be afraid
He’s your provider
He’ll never let you go
You don’t have to face today alone.

Bridge:
And God says:
Child come to me
Child trust in me
Child rest in me
Child sit with me
Beloved (repeat bridge)

Final chorus:
‘Cause Jesus when I’m here, here in your presence
There’s complete healing and I can let go
Release my burdens
And I know that as I draw near to you
Jesus you give the blessing of your rest
Your perfect rest.
