Rest

Each day’s busy, each week is full,

We strive for rest, the slightest lull.

But deadlines loom, we can’t keep pace,

To keep up, it’s like a race.

How can we find stillness when our lives keep marching on,

When each spare moment comes and then in seconds, it is gone?

How can we find rest when time just slips away,

When “busy” is our answer to how we feel each day?

We want to take life slowly but where’s the time for that,

We want to enjoy each moment, but there’s barely time to chat.

But in our crazy schedules, on the busiest of days,

There’s always time to rest in many different ways.

Even while we’re on the go and have so much to do,

Peace can reign inside us, that isn’t forced, but true.

Even as we rush around, into God’s presence we can run,

To thank Him and to love Him and by His side to come.

Life is crazy, it doesn’t change, but when we have those days,

Our souls can rest within the shadow of the God Who holds our gaze.

Our lives march on so quickly, but in His arms we’ll stay,

In the shadow of His wings, each and every day.

Busyness is real, the stress might be so tough,

But in God we can rest, because He’ll always be enough.
