Jesus,
Each time I sit still to be with
You
I think of something else that I
have to do
And if I resist the urge to get
going
My mind has raced on without me
knowing
Busying, doing, racing the time
To cram more in.
Jesus,
I want to sit still; to be with
You,
To let my mind rest and let You
do
All that You will. Please
have Your way
Control my thoughts, my words, my
deeds
Come and meet my inmost needs;
Fill me with You
Jesus,
To look deep into Your eyes; to
know Your peace
To know You and only You can bring
release
To know Your voice, to feel Your
healing touch
This is what I need so much.
My child
I would reach you
I would teach you
I would heal you
I would meet your deepest need
I would meet your greatest longing.
Let Me reach you
Let Me hold you
Let Me love you
Let all your striving cease
Let Me bring you peace
Rest yourself in My strong arm
Let Me soothe you with My balm
Let Me heal you deep inside
Come stay close to me – by My side.
Is 28:12 “This is the resting place,
let the weary rest”: and “this is the place of repose…”
