"Rest, Sweet Rest" (Matthew 11:28) | Soulful Scripture Songs

This song, as well as most of the others on this, "Soulful Scripture Song" project, came from my devotions in the early morning hours, reading the verse of the day in the YouVersion Bible app. I would read it, meditate on it, and listen for a melody. Often, without my guitar, I would simply whisper what I was hearing, [because others were still sleeping] and I would begin to sing.

It was such a sweet season of letting God sing His Word to me and over me, and this song is a perfect example of God doing exactly that. In the first half, I am literally singing Jesus' words to me/us: “Come to me, all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.” - Matt. 11:28
