Come Rest

Busy, busy me
Full of self-sufficiency
I have tried so fervently to earn Your love
But any joy that I once found
Is wearing off, is winding down
And I can hear You in the madness calling out
When you say come, rest
Should I be working so hard
When you say love, rest
Did You want hands or my heart
‘Cause I have done my
best
And still I miss the mark
But I remember You said it’s done
So I come
So convinced that it was right
Adding weight to what was light
Seeking value in Your sight, but I was wrong
For all the labor I have done
Is but a candle to the sun
I can see that it would never measure up
So I come to the water’s edge
I rest in
Your promises
That all You ever wanted was me here
And if there’s nothing more that I can do
To earn the
love I need from You
Then all that’s left to want is to be near
So I come
When You say come
