Rest

I was listening to this song today, one of my favorite Steve Green songs from his Christmas album, Joy to the World. I love the simple message and reminder of this song.

Rest, the Lord is near
Refuse to fear
Enjoy His love
Trust, His mighty power
Fills every hour
Of all your days

There is no need for needless worry
With such a Savior
You have no cause to ever doubt
His perfect Word
Still reassures in any trial

Rest, the Lord is there
Lift up your prayer
For He is strong
Trust, He’ll bring release
And perfect peace
Will calm your mind

There is no need for needless worry
With such a Savior
You have no cause to ever doubt
His perfect Word
Still reassures in any trial

Call Him if you grow frightened
Call Him
With loving care
He’ll lift the burden and you’ll

Rest, the Lord is near
Refuse to fear
Enjoy His love
Trust, His mighty power
Fills every hour
Of all your days

Rest, the Lord is near
Refuse to fear
Enjoy His love
