Rest For My Soul

 

If You have got a moment, Lord,
I’d love to chat a while.
I’m feeling battered by this day
And I could use a smile.
 
You always know just what to say
To get me back on track.
Would You mind giving me a bit
Of the peace that I lack?
 
I just want to sit and be still
And let Your love flow through.
Whatever this world throws at me,
I find my rest in You.
 
I know I thank You for big things,
You do a lot of those,
But thank You, too, for the small things…
Like this moment’s repose.
 
You ask of us what we can give,
But give more in return,
For this peace I find here with You
Is something I can’t earn.
 
Thank You for letting me chatter
And process this day through.
I’m always better for the time
I spend sitting with You.
 
Matthew 11:29
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
