Come out of sadness from wherever you’ve been
Come broken hearted let rescue begin
Come find your mercy
Oh sinner, come kneel

Earth has no sorrow
That Heaven can’t heal

So, lay down your burdens
Lay down your shame
All who are broken
Lift up your face
Oh wanderer, come home
You’re not too far
So, lay down your hurt
Lay down your heart
Come as you are

There’s hope for the hopeless
And all those who’ve strayed
Come sit at the table
Come taste the grace
There’s rest for the weary
Rest that endures

Earth has no sorrow
That Heaven can’t cure

Come as you are
Fall in His arms
Come as you are

There’s joy for the morning
Oh sinner, be still

Earth has no sorrow
That Heaven can’t heal

How awesome is it that we can come into the Presence of the Creator of the universe, the King of Kings and we can just be who we are..?  We don’t have to get good enough or perfect enough, we can come as we are.  He knows us better than we know ourselves and He loves us in spite of us.

“You’re not too far” -You can never go too far that His arms can’t reach you! And He meets you there. Give all your cares and hurts to Him. He is able and willing to carry it all for you. Matthew 11:28 says,”Come to Me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.”  A rest that lasts a lifetime.  He never gets tired of rescuing us.

“Come sit at the table, come taste the grace” — His grace is free. Where would we be without it?  2 Corinthians 12:9 says, “But He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’  Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”  See? There is rest for you at His feet.

“There’s joy for the morning” Psalm 30: 5b,”Weeping may spend the night, but there is joy in the morning.”  Yes, this means that hard times won’t last forever and we will rejoice and be full of joy in the midst of the hard and know it’s a short time.  He never leaves us in that place for long.  And He is hope!  For He has a beautiful life planned for you.  Trust Him!

And the end of the song? “Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can’t cure.” So true, Heaven can heal any sorrow on earth! So today, we praise Him because we are His and He receives us… just as we are.

Let us pray:  Dear Lord, how amazing You are that You accept us and love us for who we are. You know our faults and You give us mercy and grace when we stray. You never give up on us, Lord.  You know our hearts, and You welcome us and meet us where we are in life. Thank You for the joy that comes after the sorrow and for the rest You give us when life gets hard. We love You, In Jesus name, amen.
