I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say

As I was reading and eating my breakfast, I listened to my dad's iPod.  The song "I heard the voice of Jesus say" came up.  It was just a beautiful instrumental by Fernando Ortega, so I googled the lyrics for some encouragement. 

I heard the voice of Jesus say,

"Come unto Me and rest;

Lay down, O weary one, lay down,

Thy head upon My breast."

I came to Jesus as I was,

So weary and worn and sad;

I found in Him 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 am this dark world's light.

Look unto Me; thy 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

Till pilgrim days are done.

These words are true comfort, my friends.
