Worth Remembering

(song) I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say

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 in Him my 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
from 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 thy 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 pilgrim days are done.
