With text adapted from scripture and music to bring the text to life, we can hear the gentle, yet insisting, pleading of the Savior to come and find Him in “Come to Me.” Artfully set by KU’s Dan Forrest, the rich and warm accompaniment is enhanced with a beautiful solo cello line.
“Come to me, all you who labor; Come to me, and I will give you rest.
Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and you will find rest for your souls.
Come, My Child, Learn My heart, For I am gentle and lowly.
See how great My love for you, that I have called you My child.”
(words adapted from Matt. 11:25, 28-29; 2 Cor. 6:18; I John 3:1)
