Restless

I am restless in my days
Exhausted from the moment

Seeking solace in my home
Yet spend hours pacing about

Lord, it is You that I need
And You that brings rest

The world is moving so fast
And seems so far from You

Please, reach down Your hand!
Touch me with Your peace!

Fill my heart with hope
Reassure me of Your salvation

My heart longs to see You
My spirit cries out to You

Hear my prayers O Lord
Bring calmness to my spirit

Calm my soul with Your word
Whisper Your voice in my ear

Hold this child of Yours
Let her rest in Your arms so strong
