The Messiah’s Invitation

 

The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me

He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted

And to the captives and prisoners, proclaim their liberty

And to the blind, recovery of sight

And those who are oppressed, to set them free

This is the year of the favor of the Lord

(2nd time, repeat last line)

 

Come to Me all who are weary

Come you heavy laden

Come and I will give you rest

Take My yoke upon you

Learn from Me

For I am gentle and humble

And you shall find rest for your souls

(Isaiah 61:1-2a, Luke 4:18-19, Matt 11:28-30)
