Rest Easy
Sam Ock - Rest Easy
i know that i'm not alone, i see the bags
under everyone's eyes, like a bunch of white flags
ready to just give up, had just about enough
why is living so though, why did i choose to drink this cup?
this love that i'm searching everyday for
from above, hear me uttering a "save LORD!"
'cause my body and my spirit and my crowns
every single thing seems heavy on my brow
and i sweat it, i want to shed it
i want to go back in time and make edits
i carry scars on my heart, but i just let it
fester into anger, impatience imbedded
but i read it in the Good Book, it said
come to me all who are weary and i will give rest
so i believe that my burdens will leave me
one day, but 'til then, i'll rest easy
oh, if i can't see
what's in front of me
i'll take Your hand and i'll rest easy
i wonder how many songs use the same progression as this
i wonder how many times lovers were betrayed with a kiss
a simple sentiment supersedes sentience
and single souls sense the Supernatural's salience
and daily i'm affected by my weary mind
many times i forget that love came down forgave my crimes
i believe that You are my Shepherd tried and true
when i can't see in front of me i put my trust in You
during the winter dark and cold and these summer nights
i'll lay my burdens on the One who took my every plight
and gave me wings so i could see the sky and take flight
and perspectives from above show me my worries are trite
i gaze upon the colors of the deep blue
the burning warm glow of the sunset's truth
i let the air fill my lungs, and breathe out,
and for a moment rest easy, singing out
if only it were easy to believe
that in Your hands lies my security
but still i choose to persevere and try
for the Author and Perfector of my life
