Redeeming grace · Freely given grace
Hearing the invitation and personally coming to the Lord, this hymn considers in turn the rest, living water and light Jesus gives. Matthew invites the weary to take his yoke; John shows his work satisfying deep thirst and guiding people out of darkness. Singing can connect the gospel with exploring friends’ needs and remind believers to keep responding to the Saviour. We bring fatigue, emptiness and confusion to him, receive Scripture’s teaching and answer grace through new direction in life. His invitation offers personal nearness while gathering recipients of grace into community to learn trust and following together.
