Lyrics
was reading a book that had the same title, and felt compelled to write this. pay attention to the quotation marks...
i just labor heavy laden - i am weary needing rest
and i sense i see you saddened as i failed another test
but you're not there pointing fingers like i thought that you might do
"i am gentle, lowly hearted and that heart is here for you"
you say you're drawn to sinners coming back from where they went
and the young man in foreign country turning homeward when all was spent
compassion moves you onward - wondering why i did not see
that you're gentle, lowly hearted and that heart is here for me
“nothing pulls me closer to you
than your sadness and your fear
when you're lost and feel most distant
that is when i come most near”
i am yoked to sins too often with no strength to do what's right
and your burden felt so heavy you assure me "it is light"
simple words like "come unto me" i'm not sure where to begin
gentle shepherd, lowly hearted pray your heart will let me in
"i am right there in your suff'ring
nothing else that I could ever do
i am gentle, lowly hearted
and that heart is here for you"
