    This one is another very personal one to me. As always, critique and enjoy!!

    Rest in Him

    I know where there is a hushed abode
    If in my life the longings are heavy load
    A Savior, my Lord Jesus Christ

    In his nail scarred hands I can lay
    The longings that my soul can’t stay
    What better rest than leaning on His breast
    And trusting that He knoweth best

    I rest in Him for He is my Lord
    What can others offer me that’s better than
    Submitting me unto His plan
    I rest in Him for He is my Lord

    I rush to the Rock when wars arise
    And on my knees release the fear in my eyes
    To Mightiest Lord Jesus Christ

    In His mighty arms I abide
    I know  under His wings I can hide
    What then I should fear though warriors drew near
    And days ahead looked very dear

    I rest in Him for He is my King
    What then should I fear when He’s protecting me
    Defeated is the enemy
    I rest in my for He is my King

    I rest in the Lord, for He is God
    Though all my days be spent in toilsome plod
    Though all my dreams dissolve like salt in the sea
    Though all my longings never are what I’ll be
    I rest in the Lord, for He is God.
