This beautiful song by Jill Phillips says so much in so few words.
It is a place we all get to at some stage sometimes even more than once, during a single day. Praise our Lord that we can rest in Him – when our minds and bodies are so weary from the sojourning we must endure while going through the regeneration of God, as He slowly forms Christ in us. Where would we be without this rest? He is our only constant, He is very wise. He is always near and He is our peace that surpasses all understanding.
God bless you
(As soon as I can work out how to move the actual song from my computer onto this site, I will post it for you to listen to.)
I Am
Oh gently lay your head
Upon My chest
And I will comfort you
Like a mother while you rest
The tide can change so fast,
But I will stay
The same through the past,
The same in future, same today
CHORUS:
I am constant; I am near
I am peace that shatters all your secret fears
I am holy; I am wise
I’m the only one who knows your heart’s desires
Your heart’s desires
Oh weary, tired and worn,
Let out your sighs
And drop that heavy load you hold
Cause Mine is light
I know you through and through;
There’s no need to hide
I want to show you love
That is deep and high and wide
Oh gently lay your head
Upon my chest
And I will comfort you
Like a mother while you rest
