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
