Rest in Thee

copyright 2010 molly golson

i run the rat race
i admit that
i am faster than most
i fight the good fight
for the right to
beat my chest and
brag and boast
i stay on target
ever focused on
my every goal
but what have i gained if
i win the world and
lose my soul

let me rest in thee
oh lord i pray
let my heart be held
in gentle song
all the world a breath away
but lord i under your sway
have no need no urgent thing
for which i long
but to rest in thee

i do for me and and mine
and we do fine
and what i do for you
depends on
what is at the end
of all the money
we go through
it's hard to
hear your cries or
feel your pain while
running at this pace but
when i take the time i
often find i'm
running in place

let me rest in thee
oh lord i pray
let my heart be held
in gentle song
all the world a breath away
but lord i under your sway
have no need no urgent thing
for which i long
but to rest in thee

my feet are on the ground
my heart is on my sleeve
my actions more than words
reveal what i believe


let me rest in thee
oh lord i pray
let my heart be held
in gentle song
all the world a breat away
but lord i under your sway
have no need no urgent thing
for which i long
but to rest in thee

let me rest in thee
rest in thee
