| Morning Coffee by George Mendoza |
Today is the feast of Saint Augustine who wrote:
Our hearts are restless, Lord,
until they rest in you...
Good morning, good God!
Today, Lord, I offer you my restless heart...
My heart is restless, Lord,
until it rests in you...
My heart is anxious
until it rests in your deep peace...
My heart grieves
until it rests in you, my joy...
My heart worries
until it rests and trusts in you...
My heart is marked by sin
until it rests in your deep mercy...
My heart is jealous
until it rests, made whole in you...
My heart is tired
until it rests in you, my strength My heart doubts
until it rests in you, my truth...
My heart is wounded
until it rests, healed by your embrace...
My heart waits
until it rests in you for whom I wait...
So, I offer you my restless heart:
my anxious, grieving, worried, heart,
my sinful, jealous, tired heart,
my doubtful, wounded, waiting heart...
My heart, indeed, is restless, Lord,
until it rests in you:
in your strong and gentle, holy, loving,
wise and wounded, healing, boundless,
gracious and forgiving heart...
I offer you my restless heart, Lord:
help me find my rest in you...
Amen.

You dwell in songs that we are singing,
Rising to the Heavens, rising to Your heart, Your heart.
Our praises filling up the spaces
In between our frailty and everything You are
You are the keeper of my heart
And I'm restless, I'm restless
Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You
I am restless, I'm restless
'Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You
Oh God, I wanna rest in You
Oh, speak now for my soul is listening
Say that You have saved me,
whisper in the dark, the dark.
'Cause I know You're more than my salvation
Without you I am hopeless, tell me who You are,
You are the keeper of my heart
You are the keeper of my heart
And I'm restless, I'm restless
'Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You
I am restless, I'm restless
'Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You,
Oh
I wanna rest in You
Still my heart, hold me close
Let me hear, a still small voice
Let it grow, let it rise
Into a shout, into a cry
Still my heart, hold me close
And let me hear, a still small voice
And let it grow, let it rise
Into a shout, into a cry
And I am restless, I'm restless
'Til I rest in You, let me rest in You
And I am restless, so restless
'
Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You, Oh God
Let me rest in You.
