Oh, Come All You Weary ⋆ Effie Darlene Barba

When I look around the world my heart is heavy with grief. So much of me wants to go home, to be with my Lord and Savior. To escape the pain, sorrow, division and violence that grows around us. Perhaps in part that is due to my age; but, then I hear His call. If He delays His return it is to call one more broken soul to His bosom. For that reason, I have written this poem, Oh Come all You Weary. My prayer is it touch your heart today and you will come to know Him.

Oh Come All You Weary

by Effie Barba

An overwhelming sadness Lord
I cannot overcome
So Many Lost and Broken Souls
Who Do not know Your Son

This world You made so intricate
Complex with beauty great
Now rushing fast to judgment day
For sin has sealed its fate

Do they not hear your cry?

Oh come all you weary
Come and find rest
I long for you love you
To give you My best
My grace is still waiting
To hear your voice say
"Jesus my Savior
I trust You today"
So Bring all your sorrow
Your sin and your loss
Repentantly, humbly
To lay at my cross

Oh Lord how I long now
To see your dear son
Transformed in a moment
My heart with yours one

To love then as you do
Your righteous mine
In Wondrous Amazement
Your Glory to shine

Would my heart then cry?

Oh come all you weary
Come and find rest
I long for you, love you
To show you His  best
His grace is still waiting
To hear your voice say
"Jesus my Savior
I trust You today"
So Bring all your sorrow
Your sin and your loss
Repentantly, humbly
To lay at His cross

Dear Lord make me patient
To live out each day
Displaying your Glory
With all that I say

Perhaps one more heart
Will beckon you in
Accepting Your Gift
Repenting of sin

They will respond when you say,

Oh come all you weary
Come and find rest
I long for you love you
To give you My best
My grace is still waiting
To hear your voice say
"Jesus my Savior
I trust You today"
So Bring all your sorrow
Your sin and your loss
Repentantly, humbly
To lay at my cross
