Rest, Oh My Soul

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Light and dark play in my mind,

As hope and worry do,

But I can put them all aside

When I sit still with you.

 

The light that shows my every flaw,

The dark’s alluring call,

The ever-present desire

To escape from it all.

 

Each has a claim upon my mind,

But none upon my soul,

For I am Yours and by Your grace

The broken is now whole.

 

I sit within Your stillness, Lord,

And let Your peace fill me

Until the conflicts of this world

Are but a memory.

 

I hear Your voice and I can rest

With peace filling my heart.

Light and dark, worry and hope

No longer play a part.

 

Psalm 116:7

Return, O my soul, to your rest; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
