The Lyrics
He walked down the avenue, slow, unhurried
Past the man on the corner the world had ignored
Cardboard sign, tired eyes, invisible for years
He stopped, He knelt, and He called him by name
Come to Me, all you weary
Lay your burden down
You don't have to carry it alone
I have come to give you rest
I see the ones the world walks by
I know the weight, I've walked the night
So come to Me, all you weary
And lay it down
He found a woman cryin' in her car
Bills on the dash, a baby in the back
A man with a box of everything he'd packed
Just laid off, starin' at the cracks
And to each one He whispered the same quiet word
Come to Me, all you weary
Lay your burden down
You don't have to carry it alone
I have come to give you rest
I see the ones the world walks by
I know the weight, I've walked the night
So come to Me, all you weary
And lay it down
He sat with a soldier who came home but never left the war
Hands that shook, and eyes that saw too much before
He didn't say be stronger didn't say you're fine
He just sat down in the dark, and stayed a while
So whatever you're carryin, wherever you've been
He's walkin' your street and He's callin' you in
