Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come brokenhearted, let rescue begin
Come find your mercy, oh sinner, come kneel
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal
So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken, lift up your face
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart
Come as you are
There's hope for the hopeless, and all those who stray
Come sit at the table, come taste the grace
There's rest for the weary, rest that endures
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't cure
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't cure
So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken, lift up your face
Oh wanderer come home, you're not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart
Come as you are
Come as you are
Fall in his arms
Come as you are
There's joy for the morning, oh sinner, be still
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal
So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken, lift up your face
Oh wanderer come home, you're not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart
Come as you are
Come as you are
Come as you are
Come as you are.

Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal. Oh that we could just submit to the power of Christs infinite atonement and dump pride, addiction, contention and despair at His feet and feel the relief that comes from a changed and healed heart. As it says, “ lay down your burdens”

Wow, thank you for expressing what I could not say (due to a severe illness with coma and global amnesia) but really needed to! This song welcomes me (broken) into God's Presence! Thank you so much!

The cello player was in the "Lamb of God" and she is incredible and so moving to watch, just like Nathan. So much emotion that it brings you to tears. I love this song and so many others that Nathan sings. ❤
@debbiekerr3989
The cellist was also in Be Thou My Vision. She's so incredibly talented and a joy to watch.
@fiziuk
Is the cellist called Nicole Pinnell?
