Rest in You
Hillsong United Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your faithfullness endures always
Where mountains fall and reason fails
And You calm the raging seas
And You calm the storms in me, again

All I know is I find rest in You
All I know is I find rest in You
My heart will praise throughout the night
Where singing seems a sacrifice




Your grace is all I need
Your grace is all I need

Overall Meaning

The beginning lines of Hillsong United's song "Rest in You" reverberate the message of the infinite and abiding faithfulness of God. It proclaims that despite the inevitability of shortcomings and misfortunes that come with the ephemerality of life, God's faithfulness endures through all things. Even when one's reason and logic fail to decipher uncertain or perplexing situations, and even when the very foundation of life as one knows it crumbles ("where mountains fall"), God has the power to take charge of any and every tumultuous situation and bring peace ("calm the raging seas and storms in me").


The chorus deeply embeds the central message of the song as it declares the singer's unwavering confidence with finding rest in God. It insinuates that one does not have to fathom every minute detail of their lives or how God works in it to attain peace and comfort; but rather - recognizing and acknowledging the magnitude of God's love, faithfulness, and sovereignty can be more than enough to provide rest and solace to one's soul. The bridge of the song proclaims that even when everything seems to be going wrong, when one is struggling, and it seems like utter darkness surrounds them, the grace of God is enough to strengthen and provide for them.

My lil sister just reminded me of this song today...and I'm just filled with tears realising how intimately I once knew God then I walked away from his ways and now all I feel is mercy and grace as He brings me back home. 😢

When Life gets overwhelming go to a bible verse in the bible that helps your mind. Read it over and over. Think about that verse.

My heart is absolutely broken right now, but I'm trying to seek rest in God and find the strength to carry on.
