Rest In Thee

Lori Leland

Narrative
It's been a long time since I felt any spiritual gain,
So, I'll kneel before Thee and surrender my pain.

Giving myself completely devoted to your will, your plan,
Knowing You will keep me safe within your loving hand.

Guiding my every step through the worlds deep woeing,
I know you'll carry me, when I feel, I can't keep going.

Securing me, through all eternity, giving my spirit rest,
I'm giving my life to serve you and giving my very best.
