Rest Easy

My Bible Gateway verse of the day today reminded of a great, old Audio Adrenaline song. Back in the day of cassette tapes (yeah, I know it wasn't that long ago), it used to be one of my favorites from their 1993 album Don't Censor Me. If you can actually find the track somewhere, I hold that it's worth a listen.

1 John 4:18

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

"Rest Easy"

One more mile 'til I lay rest

I have put myself through this rigid test

But the mile has never ended, no distance has been gained

I do not see greatness I wanted to obtain

Where is my embrace

from the race that I have run?

I have kept a steady pace

but still I have not won

Rest easy

have no fear

I love you perfectly

love drives out fear

I'll take your burden

you take My grace

Rest easy

in My embrace

I am such a sinner, I fear my evil ways

I fear my imperfection, I fear my final days

I just want to take control and snap this rusty chain

drop my heavy burden, it seems to be in vain

I am not a bold man even though I want to be

I am just a dreamer with a timid history

Scared of confrontations I fume all through the night

the world has it's hold on me and I just want to fly

The sky, the sky is open wide

but I can't fly 'til I step aside

Rest easy

have no fear

I love you perfectly

and perfect love drives out fear

I'll take your burden

you take My grace

Rest easy in My embrace
