Rest |
| I read it somewhere once that if I came to You for rest that You would cure my |
| weary heart and forgive my heavy debt |
| …Is there a reason why You haven’t come to help me yet? |
| Is there a reason why You want me dead? |
| I swear my whole life is proof of this bitter concept |
| But I’ve done nothing to deserve this treatment that I get |
| There’s no joy in my soul, and the qustions I can’t answer are left |
| So God… |
| How do I mov on? |
| And make the past disappear? |
| It’s easier said than done after all those years |
| The faces of the countless girls I’ve quietly undressed |
| Leave scars on my heart and images I can’t forget |
| The guilt drives me crazy and it’s hard to live |
| And if that weren’t enough, I’m frail and I’m sick |
| Let alone the fact that You don’t respond to me |
| Your Bride pays no attention to the lost that need to see |
| But if there’s anything in this world that haunts my heart |
| It’s the choking grip of worry that is tearing me apart |
| I’m so uncertain, God, that there’s still a plan |
| Has it run off-course somehow, or is it in Your hands? |
| My doubt has taken over, and apathy blinds my hope |
| I’m a religiously-founded man with a starving child’s soul |
| God, if You’re there anymore, I need You to direct my steps |
| I need Your grace to move on; |
| Jesus, tell me what’s next |
| Wage war against everything that holds you back from Me |
| So light a match and watch it burn |
| All your dreams and desires |
| Take up your cross and follow Me |
| I will lead you forever higher |
| I can’t just pretend to be strong when I’m not |
| I’m too weak to fight this insecurity |
| But on the outside I’ll disguise it with pride |
| A pride that’s founded on the shaky ground of vanity |
| But You’ve known the truth from the beginning |
| I pray right now that You interpret my sincerity |
| Give me the ability to trust You with it all |
| I need You here with me |
| Give (me) us peace |
| Give (me) us a love that never sleeps |
| Let (my) our faith be contagious |
| Take these burdens please, and show (me) us how to finally |
| Run to You and never look back |
| The struggles that we face will never cease to exist |
| No matter how desperately we want simplicity |
| There will always be excuses and distractions |
| That keep us from believing in the truth of the cross |
| And though I’m at my weakest like never before |
| Though the thought of death may seem more promising than life |
| Despite my unfaithfulness, despite my shortcomings |
| You are sovereign, in control, and You live in me |
| So we must conquer the fear that lives inside of us |
| We must live and breathe with a strong sense of urgency |
| The church must be united as one |
| We must come together and function as one body |
| We must run to Christ together |
| Never again will we be alone |
| The grace of God is so much greater |
| Than anything we can accomplish on our own |
