lonely – Seeking God's face together

Jesus said, “Come to me all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens,
and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28; NLT).

1. Come to me
When you are lonely;
Take my hand
When you’re afraid.

2. Seek me
When you lose your bearings;
Talk with me;
Rest in my shade.

3. Follow me;
Accept my friendship;
Cling to me
When you despair.

4. Turn to me
When life’s a burden:
I will comfort, love,
And share.
