Return to your rest, my soul

 

Return to your rest, my soul,

For the Lord has been good to you.

The enemy tries to torment you, it's true,

With all, that you have been through.

When the enemy tries to remind, and rewind,

By sending you thoughts, that trouble your mind.

You need to remember, that the old you has died,

And now in Christ you safely hide.

You are one with Him, and no longer the same,

Though the enemy continues, with his shame game.

Always attacking and causing you pain,

Reminding, and accusing you, again and again.

Rebuke him, and tell him you have moved on,

You are forever entwined with the One.

Who saved you, forgave you, and crowned you with love,

Who right now prepares for you, to be with Him above.

Taste and see, that the Lord is good,

No one can separate you, from His love.

See, how the roaring lion has to flee!

When you hold fast to the truth, that sets you free.

Let Him who stilled oceans, calm your mind,

Leave all of your cares and troubles behind.

Jesus is doing a beautiful new thing,

He calls you only to rest in Him.
