My Resting Place

In the quiet of the night, I wait for you
To bring rest to my body and mind
I have worked hard all day long
I just need to settle down
And my bed seems to be calling out my name

I lie down on the soft and cozy sheets
I pull my covers up over my head
The warmth that covers me
Feels so comforting
And I fall into a deep and restful sleep

You are my resting place
Safe from the storms of life
I can find peace of mind
Only in your arms.  Only in your arms
You are my resting place
I need a moment with you
After a long hard day.
My body needs rest
And my heart needs to rest in you

You said you are with me forever
That your love will always endure
I can’t go on alone.
I need to know your there
And that you will come and bring me rest

Rest from my hurts. Rest from my pains
Rest from my sorrows. Resting in faith
Rest from my doubts. Rest from my tears
Rest that is with me all through the years
Rest from my trials. Rest from my tests
Rest from the turmoil my soul travels through
Resting in you, Lord.  Resting in you
No place is more comforting

You are my resting place
Safe from the storms of life
I can find peace of mind
Only in your arms.  Only in your arms
You are my resting place
I need a moment with you
After a long hard day.
My body needs rest
And my heart needs to rest in you

Resting in you, Lord.  Resting in you
No place is more comforting
Only in your arms.  Only in your arms
My heart needs to rest in you

All Who Are Weary, Come

Come into His presence
Come into His courts
Come into the joy of the Lord
Through trials and tests
As your patience endures
Come into the joy of the Lord

Come into His mansion 
Come into the throne 
Come into the peace of the Lord
Through thunders and lightnings 
With storms all around
Come into the peace of the Lord 

CHORUS
Come, come.  All who are weary, come
Come and find freedom
Come and find rest
All who are weary, come

Come into His Spirit
Come into His arms
Come into the love of the Lord
When all else seems hopeless
And friends are far off
Come into the love of the Lord

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Come into His healing
Come into His grace
Come into His mercy
Come fall on your face
Come bring your worship
Come bring your praise
All who are weary, come

CHORUS

May I stay in the arms of Jesus. May I dwell in His house today
May the Spirit be my guide forever. May I find my resting place

Only in Him can I find rest. Only in Him can I find hope
Only in Him can I find meaning. Only in Him can I find love

For He is God almighty. Maker of heaven and earth
He gave His life as my sacrifice so now I give my life to Him

Take me Lord, Into your loving arms. Take me into your dwelling place
Guide me by the Holy Spirit. Until I find my resting place

There I will praise you. There I will praise you
There I will worship my Lord and King
There will I praise you. There will I praise you
You have provided everything

The Father Has Promised

The Father has promised us rest
In the midst of the trial and test
He will always give us His best
Because He has promised us rest

The Father has promised us peace
He will always set us at ease
All our worries will surely release
Because He has promised us peace

The Father has promised us joy
All our sorrows He will destroy
No enemies weapons annoy
Because He has promised us joy

The Father has promised us hope
Through every trial we will cope
Heaven is ours this we know
Because He has promised us hope

The Father has promised us love
That flows down from His glory above
Throughout life He is enough
Because He has promised us love

It’s easy to find myself looking inside my soul and trying to figure out why I am lacking in so many ways. Inside is where my trouble is, after all. My misgivings, misunderstandings, bad thoughts and evil desires all dwell within. They to do not come from outside of me. The lack of joy, peace, hope and rest in my day to day life is caused by outside factors, but it is within me that I have the power to overcome these shortcomings, isn’t it?

I have found the answer to that question is no, it is not a look inside myself that will fix any of those things that stem out of pride. The only way to have those attributes inside myself is to look above, to look to Jesus. He is all of those things and so much more. Lay your burdens at His feet and he will lift you up out of your weariness and into His arms.

Jeremiah 31:25 King James Version (KJV)
25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
