Rest
Nate Marialke Lyrics

On my bed in the middle of the night
In the late hours, lying on my bed, I am filled with anxiety and worry.

my mind it wanders
My thoughts are scattered and unfocused, unable to find peace.

in the tumult of these times
In the midst of chaos and uncertainty in the world.

my soul is wonders
A sense of awe and reverence fills my inner being.

how can I stand against the darkness
Feeling powerless and uncertain how to fight against the negative forces in the world.

outside these walls when the morning comes?
Wondering how to face the challenges outside of my immediate surroundings when a new day arrives.

So here tonight with the moonlight streaming in
In this moment, with the peaceful glow of the moon illuminating the room.

I bow my knees before the God who really is
In a posture of humility and respect, I turn to the one true God.

and I wait to hear a word from Him
I eagerly anticipate guidance and direction from God.

before the dawn breaks, before the dawn breaks
Before a new day emerges, I hope to gain clarity.

now my prayer rises to the throne
My supplication is lifted up to the highest level of authority.

it's like I'm coming home to where I belong
I feel a sense of belonging and peace returning.

now my soul finds rest in God alone
I am able to achieve a state of calmness and tranquility in the presence of God.

There's nowhere else to go it's where I belong
Realizing that there is no other place that can provide me with the same level of comfort and security as being in God's company.

If I were a bird I'd fly to you
Expressing a desire to be closer to God, even if it means taking an unconventional form of transport.

but I'll get up and run the race you called me to
Instead of relying on supernatural means, I will respond to the purpose that God has set before me with my own efforts.

show me your ways and your beauty
Please guide me and reveal your divine beauty to me, God.

teach me what it is to be a man of God
Help me to understand and exemplify the qualities that make a person worthy of being called a follower of God.

I won't let you won't let you won't let you won't let you go
Promise to never let go of God's presence and protection.

I found the one my heart is longing
The one that gives me purpose and meaning in life is God.

I won't let you won't let you won't let you won't let you go
Reiterating the previous statement and commitment to follow God always.

I found the one my heart is longing for
Emphasizing the fulfillment and satisfaction that comes with having a relationship with God.

now my prayer rises to the throne
The prayer is still being lifted up to the highest level of authority, indicating a continual conversation with God.

it's like I'm coming home to where I belong
I continue to find comfort and belonging in God's presence.

now my soul finds rest in God alone
Finding peace and rest in the security of being with God, without needing anything else.

There's nowhere else to go it's where I belong
Reaffirming that being with God is the ultimate destination and fulfilling purpose for one's life.
