Into His Rest

 "Come unto me. all ye that labour and are heavy laden. and I will give you rest."

Tomorrow I start telling the story of Christmas with special emphasis on hesed, the love He is able to give to all and especially felt by those who covenant with him to always remember Him and keep His commandments. Some years ago I wrote a song with a friend that encompassed that rest experienced by those who turn their hearts over to Him. I wanted to capture the sound of rest, the feeling of rest and the surety of His rest. Below is a music video of that song.

 

              

In pride I turned my back on God and chose to shun the iron rod.

But sin brought misery and strife, no peace or joy refreshed my life.

Into His rest,

freed from all doubt, heart open now from inside out.

Into His rest, nothing to hide,

I come to him, arms open wide.

Long have I faltered so full of doubt, allowing pride to look me out.

But prayer upon Thy sacred name, 

Awakes my heart, consumes all shame.

Into His rest,

freed from all doubt, heart open now from inside out.

Into His rest, nothing to hide,

I come to him, arms open wide.

I kneel repentant, my life's restored.

Merciful Savior, my pain's no more.

Thy healing balm of peace sublime,

Thy glorious love transcends all time.

Into His rest,

freed from all doubt, heart open now from inside out.

Into His rest, nothing to hide,

I come to him, arms open wide.
