It's the end of another week, Lord
and I could use a little rest:
rest from burdens I've carried forever,
or at least so it sometimes seems;
some rest from burdens I just picked up,
only yesterday or a few days ago...
Not asking, Lord, you take my burdens away,
just looking for a little rest, a break, a breather;
time to recover the spirit and energy
sapped from my soul
by fears, worries and unfinished business
waiting and wanting to be resolved...
Looking for the rest you pledged to those
who work and are heavy burdened;
seeking the rest you promised the weary
who come to you for relief;
praying for the rest that each of us needs
to take up your yoke and learn anew:
you're meek and humble of heart
and in you lies the rest each of us craves,
and the peace and the joy
for which we all yearn...
Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake
and watch over me while I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace...
Amen.
Tonight's music is a little different,
I hope you'll listen to the whole piece...
