Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
Goodbye my friend
I’ll see you again
Got the news not long ago / the sad story how you had to go
At least that’s what you thought / as you closed your eyes and sought
The peace that passes human understanding / this fake world can be all too demanding
Rest your weary head
In the nail scarred hands
Lay your crown of thorns
At the Savior’s feet
Gun stuck up to your head / after that your body bled
No way out except eternity’s door / your last thought as your head hit the floor
Times together now seem like a waste / this rancid bitterness I can taste
Rest your weary head
In the nail scarred hands
Lay your crown of thorns
At the Savior’s feet
Always was your very best friend / forever and ever, even to the end
Will I ever be whole again / fare thee well, goodbye my friend
Troubled soul dead by the gun / now at peace, at one with the Son
Rest your weary head
In the nail scarred hands
Lay your crown of thorns
At the Savior’s feet
Goodbye…
