Lyrics
“REST”
WORDS & MUSIC: BRETT TURNER FRANCIS
C.2000 ALONG THE WAY MUSIC
ASCAP
YOU’RE CARRYING A HEAVY LOAD, A LONG AND UNFORGIVING ROAD
AND YOU FACE ANOTHER UPHILL CLIMB
A THOUSAND MILES BEHIND YOU NOW
NEVER COULD ERASE THE DOUBT, THAT THERE’S AN END FOR YOU TO FIND
A RESTLESS HEART HAS BROUGHT YOU WHERE YOU ARE
AND NOW THAT YOU HAVE COME SO FAR
CHORUS: YOU LOOK TIRED, YOUR HANDS ARE SORE, YOUR SOUL IS THIRSTY
BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO THIRST ANYMORE
JUST FOR YOU I HAVE PREPARED MY BEST, SO COME TO ME AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST
THE STEPS YOU TAKE ARE YOURS TO CHOSE, BUT EVERY STEP I’VE BEEN WITH YOU
EVER SINCE THIS ROAD BEGAN, THE DESTINATION THAT YOU SEEK
IS NEVER FAR BEYOND YOUR REACH, WHEN YOU REACH OUT FOR MY HAND
LET YOUR STEPS LEAD YOUR HEART TO ME AND LET ME LOVE YOU PERFECTLY
BRIDGE: MY FIELDS ARE GREEN, MY SKIES ARE BLUE, MY RIVER RUNS WITH LOVE FOR YOU
I’LL GIVE YOU ALL YOU’LL EVER NEED, ALL THIS AND MORE IF YOU’LL COME TO ME
I GAVE YOU MY ONLY SON, HE’S BEEN WHERE YOU’RE COMING FROM
AND HE HAS CRIED THE TEARS YOU CRY
HE CAME TO OPEN HEAVEN’S GATES, HE GAVE HIS LIFE TO MAKE A WAY
FOR YOU TO FREELY COME INSIDE
HE HAD YOUR NAME WRITTEN ON HIS HEART, HIS LOVE NOW REACHES TO WHERE YOU ARE
CHORUS: BUT HE WAS TIRED, HIS HANDS WERE SORE, HIS SOUL WAS THIRSTY SO THAT YOU WOULD THIRST NO MORE
JUST FOR YOU, I GAVE YOU MY BEST, SO COME TO ME AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST
SO COME TO ME AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST
