Rest

Come to me  
Come to me and rest  
Rest your soul  
Rest your weary head  
 
Come to me  
Leave the world to fret on its own  
Find me  
I’m your home  
 
Come to me  
Come to me and shine  
Reflect my light  
whole and unrefined  
 
Show your face  
Don’t turn away in shame  
Show your soul  
Don’t cover up your flame  
 
Let it burn bright  
Let it live  
Open your heart  
For I freely give  
 
There is a wind  
There is a rain  
Let it blow  
and fall at will  
 
I created you  
body and soul
You're a vessel
meant to be full
 
Full of my love  
Full of desire  
with passion that burns  
until you are fully on fire  
 
Desire to know me
more as I show  
I can overcome
life's undertow  
 
Tho the current's so strong  
and direction seems wrong  
when only the surface  
you see  
 
The current's extreme  
a pull to the deep  
leads you  
to panic and flee  
 
But with my grace you can float  
let go of the boat  
trust your instincts  
I'll carry you free  
 
Rest in me  
Lay your head back onto the sea  
Let it go  
Drift in the waves with me
 
Come to me  
Come to me and rest  
 
 
“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11:28-30‬ ‭MSG‬‬
