Rest Upon the Rock

 

Worry and hurry will steal your peace- they’ll make of you a slave

They’ll chain your soul and they won’t cease ‘til they take you to the grave

 

Worry and hurry will rush your rest, they’ll ruin and rot your roots

They’ll make you mark time day by day and prevent your pursuits

 

 

Prove the truth in your  own living

Prove the truth that Christ is giving

Your enemy’s the flesh and not the clock

Slow down and rest upon the Rock

 

Worry and hurry are like twin thieves - they’ll rob your Holy Sense

They’ll steal away any beliefs that give you confidence

 

And we run out of time when we run to his embrace

A timeless place of perfect rest outside of time and space

 

Prove the truth in your  own living

Prove the truth that Christ is giving

Your enemy’s the flesh and not the clock

Slow down and rest upon the Rock
