Trust me, I've been there, I've looked, I've searched and I know now, that there are no answers to be found in the bottom of a bottle or on the edge of a blade! Fighting Hard, Recovering, Rebuilding, REBORN. Moving on from addiction to a new life.
Are we growing tired Or struggling with the weight Are our souls at a low So deep we just can’t rise Still trying in our own strength Pushing on to no ends Yet still He calls out to us For under His wings
He says we’ll find our rest
Days become harder Our thoughts become clouded The stresses of life Lay a heavy burden Upon our fragile souls Our feet so tired We’ve travelled so far Now it feels we can’t go on Yet there is a place Our tired feet can call home The Father’s arms Our refuge and our shield A place to find peace Beside the glory of the Son A place for tired hearts To finally feel new
When I was afraid Those nights I was alone A forgotten man Forgotten by myself I called out Whispered Your name In the dead of the night My prayer You heard My question My request So tired and weary Little sleep over time I needed You this night And You answered my call Calmed a restless heart And You whispered to me My presence is with you And I give you rest
Are we so tired? Broken from the toil Worn and weary From the fight each day Yet we hear His voice It calls to us To come to Him He pleads for us To turn to Him
He is our peace He is our rest
So let us go to Him And lay down our burdens And rest in the peace He gives
From the centre of the storm You welcomed me to Your shelter When chaos reigned In the light of Your face It faded from view From heaven Your peace flowed And settled over me In the face of it all I slept in Your peace In the house of Your love Where I rest in Your safety
Whatever you may be going through, good times or bad, may the Lord give us all peaceful and satisfied sleep.
GIVE YOU PEACE by ECHOING ANGELS I see you lying their whispering prayers I hear you breathing out hollowed be thy name Holding out my hand catching every tear Oh my child I’ll never leave your side
I will give you peace when the walls come crashing down I will give you peace through the night When you’ve had all you can take can’t face another day I’ll give you peace, I’ll give you peace
For such a time as this I have you here Chosen for the lost to show I’m near Through your brokenness my glory shines And through your frailty my strength will rise
I will give you peace when the walls come crashing down I will give you peace through the night When you’ve had all you can take can’t face another day I’ll give you peace, I’ll give you peace
Your beautiful, your beautiful Perfect in my sight Righteousness adorns you my bride Your beautiful, so beautiful
I will give you peace when the walls come crashing down I will give you peace through the night When you’ve had all you can take can’t face another day I’ll give you peace, I’ll give you peace
This time last year I had fallen deep into those fears and the trembling, I was so set in those fears and depression, I never stopped to listen to the Lord and feel His peace come over me.
Sometimes, we just have to take a step back and rest in Him.
I heard this song this morning, the lyrics are perfect for this post.
SLEEP AND DREAMS by CHARLIE HALL Close your eyes, it’s time to sleep The day is done and it’s the time to breathe and dream I pray that bands of angels fill your room And the songs of God would come, consume you
Rest your head on hallelujahs Rest your head on all God is Rest your head, the day is done And now it’s time to sleep
And put your mind on things above And let your heart be filled with faith and hope, and love I pray that bands of angels fill your room And the songs of God would come, consume you
Rest your head on hallelujahs Rest your head on all God is Rest your head, the day is done And now it’s time to sleep
Rest your head on hallelujahs Rest your head on all God is Rest your head, the day is done And now it’s time to sleep
Rest your heads on hallelujahs May the God of dreams come and fill your sleep And may the God of dreams come and fill your sleep
Rest your heads on hallelujahs May the God of hope come and fill your soul May the God of hope come and fill your soul
Rest your heads on hallelujahs May the peace of Christ come and fill your life May the peace of Christ come and fill your life
Rest your heads on hallelujahs If you’re yearning, if you’re thirsty Child, come
Rest your heads on hallelujahs Rest your heads on hallelujahs Rest your heads on hallelujahs Rest your heads on hallelujahs
Rest your heads on hallelujahs Rest your heads on hallelujahs Rest your heads on hallelujahs Rest your heads on hallelujahs
Rest your heads on hallelujahs On hallelujahs Rest your heads on hallelujahs
Three weeks without any anti-depressents, it’s been a little up and down and I feel so tired on top of a bad day at work, but for now I rest in him, ready to rise again tomorrow.
HERE I AM ANYWAY by JOSH WILSON I’m like Moses in the desert When that bush went up in flames. You said, “Go and tell your story.” He said, “God, what will I say? I’m so scared, unprepared What difference will I make?” Sometimes I feel the same.
If it’s weakness that You want, I’ve got more than enough. But some days I am so afraid To show this fragile love. But I’ll give You all of me And my insecurities. God I don’t have what it takes, But here I am anyway. Here I am anyway.
God, I’ve got so many questions, Wonder why You placed me here. You have given me these passions, But they come with so much fear. Sometimes it don’t make sense at all But I guess if I was brave Then I wouldn’t walk by faith.
If it’s weakness that You want, I’ve got more than enough. But some days I am so afraid To show this fragile love. But I’ll give You all of me And my insecurities. God I don’t have what it takes, But here I am anyway. Here I am anyway.
If You say go (If You say go, if You say go) I won’t say no (I won’t say no, I won’t say no) If You say go (If You say go, if You say go) I won’t say no (I won’t say no, I won’t say no)
Cause it’s weakness that You want, That’s how You show Your love. Your power is made perfect, When we are not enough.
If it’s weakness that You want, I’ve got more than enough. But some days I am so afraid To show this fragile love. But I’ll give You all of me And my insecurities. God I don’t have what it takes, But here I am anyway. Here I am anyway. Here I am anyway, anyway. Here I am anyway, anyway.
