As I posted in my recent update, I'm going to start getting back into writing original songs and hymns, to be posted on the second Friday of the month. This is my most recent song, which you can hear by clicking the YouTube lyric video above.
This song, "Find Rest in Jesus," draws on the frequent heart-cries of the Psalms, along with verses like Philippians 4:6-7 and 1 Peter 5:7.
The lyrics are my own original work (as are the photographs in the video background). The musical setting is also my work, assisted by online music generation tools. (While I would rather partner with real songwriters and musicians, my limitations as merely a lyricist leave me with few options in the absence of such partners, so in the meantime this will have to do.) You'll find the lyrics below; may they be a blessing.
Find Rest in Jesus
Find rest, my soul, in Jesus
Let Christ be your reprieve
Lean on his consolation
And dwell within his peace
[Chorus]
And the grace of God
Will embrace your heart
And give you peace again
Hallelujah
Lay down your fears before him
These worries that you bear
Pour out your pain to Jesus
Your cares to One who cares
[Chorus]
Receive his boundless mercy
For you belong to him
Seek out his place of refuge
Find rest, and enter in
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
