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 ChristIn 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 bestI 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 LordI rush to the Rock when wars arise
And on my knees release the fear in my eyes
To Mightiest Lord Jesus ChristIn 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 dearI 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 KingI 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.
