Come Find His Rest | A song review

   

"Come Find His Rest" 

Favorite line:

"I came to Jesus as I was so weary, worn, and sad / I found in Him a resting place and He has made me glad."

    This song has such a peaceful feeling to it. Especially when they sing the line: "Take His yoke upon thee / for He is gentle and lowly in heart". Ugh, it's just so good!! 

    Along with this song being for worship purposes, I also think it's good for writing as well. Perhaps for a scene where a lone voice rises to encourage the masses to trust in Christ despite whatever great darkness they are facing. And then the encouragement ripples out to more and more people!🤍

 

    What do you think of this song? And have you ever heard it before today? I'd love to hear from you in the comments below! (Also, the choir, conductor, etc. info is in the YouTube description box!)

HAPPY EASTER!! + sharing one of my all-time favorite easter worship songs

     Good morning, everyone, and happy Easter! I hope you all have a lovely time today celebrating Jesus Christ's resurrection with family and friends. Really quickly, I just wanted to pop on here and share one of my favorite Easter worship songs with you, "Arise, my love" by Newsong. I got to here the band perform it live Winter Jam 2017, and it was the first time I can remember ever hearing it. Once again, have an awesome, rejoicing-filled day, guys. HE IS RISEN!

 

Here's a link to the song on YouTube

Some encouragement for weary or purposeless souls 🤍

 

“Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people. But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them because they were harassed and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.

Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest.””

Matthew 9:35-38

 

“...harassed and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.” Jesus saw. Saw their desolate state. And He had compassion.

This is the wonderful God we serve. The God who sees scattered, worn out, brokenhearted souls.

Dear heart, you are seen.

"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart..." Psalm 34:18

And as I draw immense comfort from these verses, also within them lies my own part to play during my time here on earth. Which is to lift up my hand and say, "Here I am, Lord. Send me into Your harvest to encourage Your people and spread this faith to the nations."
