Jesus, I rest in You
Jesus, I rest in You
Jesus, I rest in You
Worn, weary
Battered, bruised
Always lost
Myself misused
Jesus, I rest in You
Jesus, I rest in You
Jesus, I rest in You
Fearful, afraid
On the run
Never settled
Completely done
Jesus, I rest in You
Jesus, I rest in You
Jesus, I rest in You
Weak, frail
Strength misplaced
Fallen, broken
Come, haste
Jesus, I rest in You
Jesus, I rest in You
Jesus, I rest in You

Hold me. Love me.
Keep me in Your sight.
Hold me. Love me.
Heal me from the fight.
Hold me. Love me.
Guide me with Your light.
In the ashes of the night I lay
Chaos, pain, my comfort
Loneliness is my friend
Yet I long for much more
Hold me. Love me.
Keep me in Your sight.
Hold me. Love me.
Heal me from the fight.
Hold me. Love me.
Guide me with Your light.
Outstretched my hand reaches
Grasping, yearning, hoping
Even a tiny light, a glimmer
This pulling me out of the dark
Hold me. Love me.
Keep me in Your sight.
Hold me. Love me.
Heal me from the fight.
Hold me. Love me.
Guide me with Your light.
Your compassion grabs my hand
Warmth flows freely through
Forgiveness, tears, renewed hope
Great is your plan for me
Hold me. Love me.
Keep me in Your sight.
Hold me. Love me.
Heal me from the fight.
Hold me. Love me.
Guide me with Your light.
*written September 2021 during Mass*
At the feet of the cross, lay down adore.
He who saves, He who loves, my Savior.
Guide me, protect me, in Your fold I remain.
Lost yet faithful am I, take away my pain.
*written April 2021*
I know you are here
Guiding me forward
Calling me to holiness
Helping me when it’s hard
You lead me on
Refining every rough edge
Grasping me tight
Keeping me from the ledge
You never give up on me
Even when I turn away
Only you do I want
In Your love I must stay
*written March 2021*
O God, my Father above
Come fill me with your love
Engulf me, protect me
Create who I am to be
I turn back to you
It is the only thing to do
To follow You with praise
In prayer, my hands I raise
Keep me in everlasting love
O God, my Father above
