Lyrics
Verse 1:
In the calm
And in the storm
You’re ever faithful through it all
In the chaos
In my doubt
You are the place that I find rest
The place I find myself
Chorus:
I will rest in Your faithfulness
I will trust in all Your promises
Always You are with me
Always by my side
I will rest I will rest
Verse 2:
Life’s distractions
Can drown Your call
You’re ever waiting to catch my fall
When ground is moving
Beneath my feet
You are the solid rock I stand on
You are my all, my peace
Bridge:
Draw me nearer to You Lord
I wanna be closer to Your heart
Let me rest in Your embrace
I want to feel Your love once again
Behind the song
‘I will rest’ was written during a season where God was challenging me to be more intentional in drawing nearer to Him. Life has a tendency to crowd in on us and it can be a constant struggle to find time to intentionally make space for God, although as Christians it is so essential that we do so. To draw near, or get to know anyone better, we must spend time with them. Quality time. This is the constant battle we face as Christians in a culture that bombards us with demands and expectations to be ‘busy’.
‘I will rest’ is essentially a statement of intention, that we will choose to rest in God, through the busy-ness of our lives and through those times where we feel like everything is overwhelming us.
‘I will rest’ is the final track of my EP ‘Draw Near’. Listen now to the full EP, wherever you listen to music.
