Give Me Rest

I'm worn to the bone, down to the bone
Lungs collapse inside my chest.
Hands keep moving, heart keeps groaning.
No one taught me how to rest.
Work in the morning, straight through the night
Everyone just breeds demand.
I keep proving, keep producing, still
I'm empty when
I stand
I chase the day till daylight cracked.
Paid in breath for what
I lack
Built my worth on what
I do, still the silence cuts me through
If you still call the world out home
If the tired aren't alone
Lay right head down, rest
Hold the ground that doesn't ask a man
Lay right head down, rest
Where the weight just lets me be.
Lay my head down in quiet land
Let the night fall from my hands.
I don't want to fight or prove
I just want to rest in you
I've measured days in scars and strain, counted hours like a debt.
Every crown
I tried to carry
Left me weaker, not impressed.
I learned the rhythm of survival
Never learned when
I could stop.
All my strength was self-reliance, every breath another cost
I ran on fumes, I ran on fear.
Called it faith, but you were near
Waiting while
I burned it down
Till nothing in me made a sound
If your promise still stands true
If there's REST FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME TOO
Lay my head down
ON THE GROUND THAT DOESN'T ASK OF ME
Lay my head down
Where the weight just lets me be
Lay my head down in quiet land
Let the knife fall from my hands.
I don't want to fight or prove
I just want to rest in you
I wasn't built to never cease.
I wasn't forged for endless climbing.
You don't measure love in effort.
You get rest outside of time
Lay my head down
Lay my head rest in him
Lay my head down, rest
Lay my head down in quiet land
Let the night fall from my hands.
All my striving meets its end when
I finally rest in him
We trust in
Christ our
Sabbath song
When the road is winding hard and long
When the night won't break till dawn
We trust in
Christ our
Sabbath song.
We trust in
Christ our
Sabbath song
When the road is winding hard and long
Every mile we've walked in pain
Finds its end inside his name
We trust in
Christ our
Sabbath rest
Not the strong, but the empty blessed
Lay it down, the fight the wrong
We trust in Christ OUR SABBATH SONG screaming
WE TRUST IN CHRIST OUR SABBATH SONG
When the road is winding hard
And singing] and long, every mile we've walked in pain
Finds its end inside his name
We trust in
Christ our
Sabbath rest.
Not the strong, but the empty blessed.
Lay it down, the fight the wrong
WE TRUST IN CHRIST OUR SABBATH SONG
