This beautiful song lifts our hearts, and we hope it brightens your day too. If you take time to hear the voice of Jesus, the words of this song will come true for you. Jesus brings rest and gladness. He is Life and Light!
This video was filmed in 2020 but we took a while to finish the project. February felt like a good time to release it. February is very cold in Utah USA where we live, and we are ready for more sunlight / more light from the SON.

"I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say"
A traditional English hymn by Horatius Bonar (18081889)
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Come unto me and rest.
Lay down, thou weary one,
lay down thy head upon my breast.”
I came to Jesus as I was,
so weary, worn, and sad.
I found in Him a resting place,
and He has made me glad.
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Behold, I freely give
the living water, thirsty one;
stoop down and drink and live.”
I came to Jesus, and I drank
of that lifegiving stream.
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in Him.
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“I am this dark world's Light.
Look unto me, your morn shall rise,
and all your days be bright.”
I looked to Jesus, and I found
in Him my star, my sun,
and in that light of life I’ll walk
till traveling days are done.
