Sweet Rest

When my world is going crazy and my tears start to fall,
when I think of life and it's endless woes. When I wonder
if I'll make it it if I'll fall? So much sorrow and so much pain. 
Who can relieve my aching heart?
When I am discouraged and these times seem
long and hard, You come to me with open
arms recieving me in Your mercy. I
am overtaken by love, so much 
I can't describe. When I 
wander I wonder. Why 
You chose me a
sinner? But
why is 
not 
so important
as knowing You 
love me so. So by 
Your Grace and by Your
love without the crying of
despair I enter into endless love;
for I know I shall be repaired. Accompaning
me is much of sorrow and fears, of doubts and tears,
of loss and gain, of love and peace. Of all things good.
With guidance and leadership and a hand when I fall.
With a heart I can rely on and a GOD I can run
too. Though my journey here is long, You've
prepared a place on high for me... A 
simple sinner saved by Grace. I
know I shall have sweet
rest in thee, My GOD!
