I am working through Monica Brown’s collection of mantras, Holy Ground, and I am finding a lot of musicality in these short pieces.
This one would work at a funeral or during Lent. Some people don’t like us singing in the voice of God, but I think it can work as an assembly especially, and I don’t think anyone can fail to situate the text based as it is on Matthew 11:28.
Come to me all you who are burdened and weary and I shall give you rest.
Come to me as you are and I shall tend to you.
