Return To Your Rest by When Forever Ends Lyrics
Every day I search for strength
A forgotten life
Is fine with me
As long as I never face
Any of my insecurities
On the fault line
Between two plates:
One of the Kingdom
And one of this age
My heart of fear and hesitation confines me
Shackled by the unknown
Why I am I afraid?
In spite of my speech
In spite of my heart
In spite of my devotion
I fear you’re not enough for me
I don't have the courage
To follow your purpose
I don't have the vision
To see your provision
I searched for meaning
Now my allegiance is fleeting
The sun proceeds on his course
I commit to remain under the canopy of shade
With stagnation and isolation
The season remains unchanged
I am afraid to be exposed
I am afraid to become something more than I am
What comes of a man
Who forsakes his own comfort?
What comes of a man
Who lays his own life down?[1]
I want to follow the light of the sun
But what if you don't come?
And the clouds cause me to lose the light
And I am caught in the cold?
What will become of me, God?
You will know my strength
My goodness does not end[2]
I will lead you from glory to glory[3]
You will know my faithfulness[4]
I am unfailing[5]
