Come Rest Awhile



Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” …
Mark 6:31 NLT


Come rest awhile from working through the night
From all men’s expectations
And your own machinations
Come rest in faith that sees beyond your sight

Come rest from sin and all regret’s demands
And from your shame, and every hidden doubt
The unanswered questions and fears that stalk about
Come find your rest in God’s Almighty hands

Come rest awhile when everything seems lost
Just as I slept when the boat was tossed
By that great storm - and the deck by waves was washed
Till at my Word the wind and sea were hushed

How Can Faith Grow?

How can faith be
Like a bird in the air
Who wings without worry
And rests in God's care?

Or the faith of the woman
Who was caught in her sin
And just silently waited
To find He won't condemn

Or the faith on the seas
As Christ slept in the storm
Till they cried out in fear
Shouting "Save us from harm!"

Then he rose and commanded
Winds and waves by His word
For in storms our faith grows
When we find Christ as our Lord!
