The apostles gathered around Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught. He said to them, “Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat.
When the buzz of achievement wears off
Christ, you bid us rest
When we’ve given all we have to give
Christ, you bid us rest
When our resources seem exhausted
Christ you bid us rest
You bid us rest
not so that we can simply regroup and replenish
You bid us rest in you
so that we can be reminded of your love
and your desire to hold us close
You bid us rest.
Until, resting in you,
we find healing and strength
that enable us once more
to be open and vulnerable
But first,
in you we rest.
