I Will Rest in You

its very rare for a song to move me into tears - but of all the songs , and of all the situations i could rediscover this song , this one came at the perfect time.

my parents had an album called 'streams'. when i was little, instead of listening to the current pop selections like backstreet boys or whatever , this was my choice of music. one song in particular was my absolute favourite - i swear i memorized every line , and although i havent heard it in maybe 10+ years , i still know each line by heart.

just seconds prior to this i discovered my food science mark, and it was terrible. i think recently ive been placing a lot of pressure on myself to do well, and doing so ive often omitted the fact that God is still everything. i dont think ive ever placed this much pressure on myself to do well & to succeed - of course , 'succeed' in itself was a very relative term i chose to use. and throughout this time i've been struggling to stay afloat. its been tough, not because i'm not used to working hard, or because i have to be extremely self disciplined, but because i shoved my Saviour to a side and blindly worked at whatever i thought i had to do. this song - the lyrics - serves as such a profound reminder of who i was and who i should be.

Thank you so much Lord for nudging me again , for creating the perfect 'coincidences'.

Lord I´m in the dark 
Seems to me the light is dead when I come calling 
No one there, the sky is falling.
Lord I need to know
My mind is playing games again
You´re right where you have always been

Take me back to you 
The place that I once knew as a little child 
Constantly the eyes of God watched over me
Oh, I want to be in the place that I once knew 
As a little child, falling to the bed of faith prepared for me 

I will rest in you
I wiil rest in you
I will rest in you

Tell me I´m a fool
Tell me that you love me for the fool I am and comfort me like only you can
Tell me there´s a place,
Where I can feel your breath like sweet caresses on my face again

Take me back to you
The place that I once knew as a little child
Constantly the eyes of God watched over me
Oh, I want to be in the place that I once knew as a little child
Falling to the bed of faith prepared for me

I will rest in you I will rest in you Í will rest in you
