Lord, Let Us Rest in You
For those who have been
bound
and those who’ve been turned round,
all those chained to the ground,
Lord, please hear our prayer.
Come take away our grief;
bring joy and sweet relief;
strengthen us to belief,
Lord, please make us well.
Lord, let us rest in you.
Lord, let us rest in you.
Lord, break the chains that bind
and let us rest.
(repeat)
and those who’ve been turned round,
all those chained to the ground,
Lord, please hear our prayer.
Come take away our grief;
bring joy and sweet relief;
strengthen us to belief,
Lord, please make us well.
Lord, let us rest in you.
Lord, let us rest in you.
Lord, break the chains that bind
and let us rest.
(repeat)
broken in all our parts,
we need your healing art,
Lord, please hear our prayer.
Long have we been confined
and to our fates resigned;
now we leave that behind,
Lord, please make us well.
What I like most about the combination of these words with this melody is the dignity- even in suffering and hurting. Too often people are made to feel like trash, torn down and told that they deserve whatever pain they have. "It's your own fault," they're told. No one should be treated that way.
It's my prayer that those who are desperate and broken and hurting will find rest in God.
Man ļoti patīk! :-)
