Rest
Finding Peace Within: Jacob Hilton's Musical Journey to Rest
Lyrics
I find it hard to think that you have set a day to tell me just to stop
I struggle to believe that you've designated a day to instruct me to cease my activities
My mind is racing
My thoughts are moving quickly and intensely
Can’t you see I’ve got a million things that I need doing
Do you not notice the numerous tasks that demand my attention?
But son you just don’t get it do you
Despite my explanation, you fail to comprehend
Can’t you just have one day rest with me
Can't you take a day to rest with me?
My presence is the best place for you
Being in my company is the most beneficial place for you
Step out and I promise you you’ll see
Step outside, and I assure you, you will understand
You’ll see
Repeated assurance of understanding
You’ll see
-You’ll see
-But I find it hard to hold your hand
I struggle to hold your hand and trust that you'll move forward
And trust that you will go ahead
Expressing difficulty in trusting
My Lord why is this so damn hard
An exclamation of frustration, questioning the difficulty of pausing and accepting love
To press pause and let you love me
Finding it challenging to take a break and embrace love
I find it hard to think that you have set a day to tell me just to stop
Reiteration of the difficulty in accepting a designated day for rest
My mind is racing
Restating the racing thoughts in the mind
Can’t you see I’ve got a million things that I need doing
Reiterating the multitude of tasks needing attention
But son you just don’t get it do you
Reemphasizing the failure to understand
Can’t you just have one day rest with me
Repetition of the desire for a day of rest together
My presence is the best place for you
Highlighting that being together is the most beneficial place
Step out and I promise you you’ll see
Encouragement to step out and gain understanding
You’ll see
Reiteration of the assurance of understanding
You’ll see
-You’ll see
-Rest, my soul
Refrain emphasizing finding peace in resting in the Holy One and being held in the Father's arms
You’ll find your peace when you rest in the Holy One
-Rest, my soul
-You’ll find your peace when you’re held in the Father’s arms
-Rest, my soul
-You’ll find your peace when you rest in the Holy One
-Rest, my soul
-You’ll find your peace when you’re held in the Father’s arms
-Rest, my soul
-You’ll find your peace when you rest in the Holy One
-Rest, my soul
-You’ll find your peace when you’re held in the Father’s arms
