Timo and Sam wrote this in response to Jesus' words in Matthew 11:28-30. It also touches on the story of the calming of the storm and Mary sitting at Jesus' feet.

The recording was made by Timo and he sang the lead vocal, Sam contributed some guitar and the keyboard was played by Hansi Scharnowski.


Come all you heavy laden.
Come all you broken down.
Come all you burned and fragile,
find rest for your souls.

Come all you stressed and anxious.
Come all who clench their fists.
Come all whose minds are reeling,
find rest for your souls.

Peace, be still, my soul.
Hear the words of Jesus.
Come and sit at his feet,
come, it’s all that you need.
Surrender all, be still my soul.

Jesus, your yoke is easy,
Jesus your burden’s light.
You walk along beside me
in rhythms of grace.

Help me lay down my burdens,
help me unclench my fists.
Breathing a little deeper,
in rhythms of grace.
