Rest

Rest for bodies that are weary
...Rest for souls in deep despair,
Sweet assurance of His presence
...even in a world of care.

Blessed rest in times of trouble
Peaceful harbor in the storm,
In the midst of dark depression
...Rest and safety in His arms.

When the heart is heavy laden
Trust the one that loves you best,
For He knows about each heartache
In His love is blessed heart rest.

Toils of life may make
you weary
When you do your
very best,

Place your head upon your pillow
As He gives you sleep and rest.
When life's sun is quickly setting
And you pass the final test,
His amazing grace will take you
To that final place of rest.

~ Gertrude B. McClain

Come to Me all of you
who are burdened and
I will give you rest.
Matt. 11:28
