COMEWEARY SAINTSSovereignGraceMusic
As Christians, we know thatour greatest problem–separation fromGod–has been solved. Jesus Christ,the only Savior, has taken our sin uponhimself, enduring God’s wrath in ourplace and rising from the dead to assureus of our forgiveness.
But all our problems don’t endwhen we turn to Christ.We still getsick. Marriages end. Children die. Ourplans, great or small, are disrupted.Wegrow weary in the battle.
Scripture assures us that Godis sovereignly using our difficulties astools to make us more like his Son. “Werejoice in our sufferings, knowing thatsuffering produces endurance, andendurance produces character, andcharacter produces hope, and hopedoes not put us to shame, because God’slove has been poured into our heartsthrough the Holy Spirit who has beengiven to us” (Romans 5:3–5).Whilewe know these things are true, in themidst of our hardships we can loseperspective. Problems can loom large,and our hopes can grow dim.
Come Weary Saints is aninvitation to redirect your focus to theGod whose love has been foreverdemonstrated at the cross of Calvary.As you listen to these songs, may yourfaith and joy in the Savior be strength-ened for the challenges you face, nowor in the future.

IT IS NOT DEATH TO DIE
Verse 1It is not death to die
To leave this weary roadAnd join the saints who dwell on highWho’ve found their home with God
It is not death to closeThe eyes long dimmed by tears
And wake in joy before Your throneDelivered from our fears
ChorusO Jesus, conquering the grave
Your precious blood has power to saveThose who trust in YouWill in Your mercy findThat it is not death to die
Verse 2It is not death to flingAside this earthly dust
And rise with strong and noble wingTo live among the justIt is not death to hearThe key unlock the door
That sets us free frommortal yearsTo praise You evermore
