You Can Rest Lyrics


by Hillary Scott

[Verse 1]
When your weary heart is hurting or you’re feeling so alone
When you think that you’re a burden or nowhere feels like home
When everything feels like it’s changing and you don’t understand why
Trying so hard to be strong and brave but so tired you wanna cry
Don’t forget as you fall asleep to lay it all at the father’s feet

[Chorus]
You can rest, you can rest
And the one who never breaks his promises
Close your eyes, talk to him
When you’re scared and feel the darkness rolling in
And your weary and your pain just breathe in and out his name, Jesus
Oh Jesus, and you can rest

[Verse 2]
When you’re looking in the mirror and you’re struggling to believe
Am I really who he says I am or will God give up on me
When anxiety is yelling and it’s drowning out today
When it’s hard to see tomorrow and you don’t know how to pray

[Chorus]
You can rest, you can rest
And the one who never breaks his promises
Close your eyes, talk to him
When you’re scared and feel the darkness rolling in
And your weary and your pain just breathe in and out his name, Jesus
Oh Jesus, and you can rest

[Pre-Chorus]
You can rest
Don’t forget as you fall asleep you are safe at the father’s feet

[Chorus]
You can rest, you can rest
And the one who never breaks his promises
Close your eyes, talk to him
When you’re scared and feel the darkness rolling in
And your weary and your pain just breathe in and out his name, Jesus
Oh Jesus, and you can rest
You can rest
