"Come and Stay"

He says, Come and stay!

Come find your rest,

come get your pay.

I say, I will, but not for long,

for I must be back to labor,

my duty I can't stop for long.

He says, Come and stay!

Forget about work and labor

just labor to enter in My rest.

I say, I will, My Lord,

But you see I fear the consequences

of not being there tending to those needs!

He says, Come and stay!

for you should fear the consequences

of not coming to my side.

For how else will you find strength

to tend to each of the cares?

Finally I understand

His gentle persuasion

having won my reservations.

You see, things are now different.

When He says,

Come and stay!

I say, Yes My Jesus!

Here I am, and I come to stay!

For you are my greatest need,

all else can wait!
