Lyrics and Longings

Won’t you lead me to that still, still water?
Won’t you take me to that place of peace,
where I find my weary soul’s refreshing
and all my strivings cease.

I am weary from the weight of worry,
every way the world has burdened me.
Longing for a peaceful invitation:
‘My child, rest in me.’

Hear the welcome sound of gentle stillness
	a whisper from the very heart of God:
	‘You are loved, so dearly loved.
What are you doing here?’

I have built a mountain with my failures,
wrestled with the earthquake, wind and fire.
Then you speak and call me back to serve you
as grace and call conspire.

Hear the welcome sound of gentle stillness
	a whisper from the very heart of God:
	‘You are loved, so dearly loved.
What are you doing here?’

Stepping out, I know you go before me,
From darkest valley to the banquet hall.
I find my freedom as I fix my vision
On heaven’s Kingdom-call.

Hear the welcome sound of gentle stillness
	a whisper from the very heart of God:
	I am loved, so dearly loved.
No need to live in fear.
