Called to Come

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty… He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust… Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him” (Psalm 91:1-14).  “Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  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.” (Matthew 11:28,29). 

We’re called into the secret place

Where God Almighty hides His own.
We’re called to come by saving grace
And trust in Him, and Him alone.

He casts His shadow over us

And shelters us beneath His wings,
And, oh, His rest is glorious,
As we adore the King of kings!

We’re called to come and set our love

On Him whose love has never failed:
For us He left His throne above,
And on the cross, His love prevailed.

How sweet is this simplicity

To set our love upon our Savior,
To make this our priority,
And rest in His salvation’s favor! 

We’re called to come and to discern

The gracious words our Savior spoke,
Inviting us from Him to learn
And take upon ourselves His yoke.

Ah!  This is where we find our rest,

And burdens here are cast aside! 
Yes, this is where our souls are blest,
As in our Savior we abide!

We’re called to come; why would we wait

When we now have His invitation?
Why should we longer hesitate
To deeply drink of His salvation? 

O Lord, we’ve heard Your gracious voice;

We’ve seen Your love for us so true.  
You’ve called us, and our hearts rejoice
To come and set our love on You.
