Lyrics
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 drives 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 looks so heavy
you assure me "it is light"
simple words like "come unto me"
i'm not sure where to begin
gentle savior, lowly hearted
pray that heart will let me in
"i am right there in your suff'ring
nothing else i'd ever do
i am gentle, lowly hearted
and that heart is here for you"
