I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Come unto me and rest;
lay down, O weary one, lay down
your head upon my breast.”
I came to Jesus as I was,
so weary, worn, and sad;
I found him in a resting place,
and he has made me glad.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Behold, I freely give
the living water, thirsty one,
stoop down and drink and live.”
I came to Jesus, and I drank
of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in him.

I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say 

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"I am this dark world's Light;
look unto me, your morn shall rise,
and all your days be bright."
I looked to Jesus and I found
in him my Star, my Sun;
and in that light of life I'll walk,
'til trav'ling days are done.

Matthew 11
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Worship Suggestion:
The sound file is looped.
1. As the song plays the first time, (During Verse 1) make remarks about how the Lord Jesus Christ knows about all of our concerns and all of our situations. He is there to guide us and to give us peace.

He knows that sometimes we get a bit weary. All we need to do is have faith and reach out to Him for help and guidance. We should remember that He is right there with us, to give us strength, with His power, His grace and His mercy.
2. As the song continues (During Verses 2 - 3) read Matthew 11:27-30 and John 14:1-7. Let the song end.
3. When the song restarts, sing all verses together.
4. Prayer and Meditation.
