Hide and Rest

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’m grateful for the work I do,

The people at my side,

But there are times I simply need

To run away and hide.

 

I long to find the quiet place

Where no one else will be,

The place where I can be alone,

Just You, Your peace, and me.

 

I seem to grow wearier, Lord,

Than I did in my youth.

I can’t say that surprises me,

But it’s a heavy truth.

 

I know that this world still needs me

And I have work to do,

But I am grateful, now and then,

To hide and rest in You.

 

Jeremiah 31:25-26

For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.” At this I awoke and looked, and my sleep was pleasant to me.
