Come away from rush and hurry to the stillness of God's peace;
From our vain ambition's worry come to Christ to find release.
Come away from noise and clamour, life's demands and frenzied pace;
Come to join the people gathered here to seek and find God's face.
In the pastures of God's goodness, we lie down to rest our soul;
From the waters of his mercy we drink deeply, are made whole.
At the table of his presence, all his saints are richly fed;
With the oil of his anointing into service we are led.
Come then, children, with your burdens --- life's confusions, fears and pain.
Leave them at the cross of Jesus, take instead His kingdom's reign.
Bring your thirsts, for he will quench them --- he alone will satisfy.
All our longings find attainment, when to self we gladly die.

These lyrics are great. Would love to hear how the melody goes. Hope you are drinking deeply from God's mercies and leaving your confusions, fears and pain at the Cross.
