Trust Rest

O Jesus, rest my heart, in You I trust,
Your peace in life I also do accept,
instead of rage, I take the things I must,
let me rejoice where heretofore I’ve wept.

More than I ever will, You ate the pain,
You trusted in Your Father’s will above,
let all Your care for me not be in vain,
instead of stone, we have a God of love.

O Jesus, You are God, You trusted Him,
so how can helpless I not trust the same?
Against Your powerful tide I cannot swim,
to not rest in Your peace--O what a shame!

O Jesus, let my trust in You increase,
so my sore heart rests in Your gentle peace.
