Green Pastures And Still Waters

 

I had my chores laid out today,
You had another plan.
When it comes right down to it, Lord,
Your plans beat that of man.
 
You set in motion one day’s rest
That I needed, no doubt,
As if You knew, before the dawn,
What I’d not figured out.
 
A day of rest within the whirl
Of all that life brings on
Was what I needed to ensure
The stress was truly gone.

 

The psalm says You lead us to rest,
Body and soul restore,
And I will testify to that.
I am renewed once more.
 
Psalm 23:1-3
Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
