          Rest for the Weary

For those that live in Me,
I am their strength.
I am rest!
Come and sit;
I am shade from the heat and shelter from the storm.
My words will be food and nourishment,
and My Spirit will be like fresh springs.
My rest is empowerment,
My rest is grace,
and it is sufficient!

That My people would arise and go again.
Let the fresh winds of revival
fill your weary soul,
all striving shall cease.
I the Lord will be the wind in your sails,
propelling you forwards and onwards,
and upwards
towards the place of finish
that I have destined for you.
