Words for Sunday

The doctrine taught in this song brings me a lot of comfort and understanding. Sometimes life gets hard and I begin to lose hope and then I remember these words:

Learn of Me

Janice Kapp Perry

I walk today along the path of life.

No more a child protected from the strife.

Now I must face whatever foes may comes

And fight with strength until the battle's one.

I trembling fear the task is far to great,

On every side the Tempter lies in wait.

What can I do? I plead to Him above,

Then hear Him speak these gentle words of love:

Learn of me and listen to my words,

Walk in the meekness of my light

And I will give you peace,

My love will never cease,

For I am Jesus Christ.

When I was yet a child so clean and pure,

I doubted not and knew God's love was sure.

I knew He lived for every bird and tree,

By breath and leaf, were witnesses to me.

But now the world would fill my mind with doubt,

And so my soul, in search of truth cries out.

How may I know? I plead to Him above

Then I recall these gentle words of love:

Learn of me and listen to my words,

Walk in the meekness of my light

And I will give you peace,

My love will never cease,

For I am Jesus Christ.

My life is blessed to have His sacred word,

To feel His love and know my prayers are heard.

With in my soul his light has found a place,

It leads the way as I receive His grace.

The peace I feel, my joy in sacred things,

Surpasses all the world could ever bring.

With humble heart I take a valiant stand.

I will obey this gentle sweet command:

Learn of me and listen to my words,

Walk in the meekness of my light

And I shall give you peace,

My love will never cease,

For I am Jesus Christ.
