It is Monday afternoon and the busyness of the week has begun. I was enjoying an early morning quiet time and thinking about rest. I get tired physically. I get tired emotionally. I am busy. I am a wife, a mom. I need rest. Rest in the midst of our day. Rest knowing that the Lord is near.
One of my favorite songs is Rest on Steve Green's Joy to the World CD.
Rest the Lord is near
Refuse to fear
Enjoy his love
Trust, His mighty power
Fills every hour
Of all your days
There is no need
For needless worry
With such a Savior
You have no cause to ever
Doubt His perfect word
Still reassures
In any trial
Rest the Lord is there
Lift up your prayer
For He is strong
Trust, He'll bring release
And perfect peace
Will calm your mind
There is no need
For needless worry
With such a Savior
You have no cause to ever
Doubt His perfect word
Still reassures
In any trial
Call Him, if you grow frightened
Call Him, with loving care
He'll lift the burden and you'll
Rest the Lord is near
Refuse to fear
Enjoy His love
Trust His mighty power
Fills every hour
Of all your days
Rest the Lord is near
Refuse to fear
Enjoy His love
Keith Green is a favorite artist for my husband. This song is beautiful.
