with the weight of the world on your back
come know this peace that I have purchased
with my blood on your behalf
Come unto me all ye sinners
weary and covered in scars
come and taste of my forgiveness
Nothing now can ever take you
out of my merciful hands
come unto me all ye burdened
and I will give you rest
Come unto me you broken hearted
the ones with nowhere to go
I have been where you wander
I am calling you home
