The Rest
I did everything that I could do to try to pay the debt I owed
And I'd gone as far as I could go working 'neath that heavy load
While searching for a resting place, something strange occurred
When a voice from out of nowhere spoke the sweetest words I've heard
Come unto Me, all ye that labor, and I will give you rest
You can lay all your burdens down and receive My righteousness
For the Father is pleased with the work I've done, and there's nothing left to do
Come to Calvary's cross where the labor is finished, and I'll leave the rest to you
Even now sometimes I still try to do things on my own
I gather my strength, give it all I have, work my fingers to the bone
And when it seems that I can't go on, and all my strength is spent
I find myself down on my knees, where I hear these words again
Come unto Me, all ye that labor, and I will give you rest
You can lay all your burdens down and receive My righteousness
For the Father is pleased with the work I've done, and there's nothing left to do
Come to Calvary's cross where the labor is finished, and I'll leave the rest to you
Yes the Father is pleased with the work I've done, and there's nothing left to do
At Calvary's cross the Labor was finished, and I left the rest to you
And I'd gone as far as I could go working 'neath that heavy load
While searching for a resting place, something strange occurred
When a voice from out of nowhere spoke the sweetest words I've heard
Come unto Me, all ye that labor, and I will give you rest
You can lay all your burdens down and receive My righteousness
For the Father is pleased with the work I've done, and there's nothing left to do
Come to Calvary's cross where the labor is finished, and I'll leave the rest to you
Even now sometimes I still try to do things on my own
I gather my strength, give it all I have, work my fingers to the bone
And when it seems that I can't go on, and all my strength is spent
I find myself down on my knees, where I hear these words again
Come unto Me, all ye that labor, and I will give you rest
You can lay all your burdens down and receive My righteousness
For the Father is pleased with the work I've done, and there's nothing left to do
Come to Calvary's cross where the labor is finished, and I'll leave the rest to you
Yes the Father is pleased with the work I've done, and there's nothing left to do
At Calvary's cross the Labor was finished, and I left the rest to you
