Song Lyrics

"Come Rest"

by Lindsay McCaul
Album: If It Leads Me Back

Busy, busy me, full of self-sufficiency
I have tried so fervently to earn Your love
But any joy that I once found is wearing off, is winding down
And I can hear You in the madness calling out

When You say come, rest, should I be working so hard'
When You say love, rest, did You want hands or my heart'
'Cause I have done my best and still I miss the mark
But I remember You said it's done
So I come

So convinced that it was right, adding weight to what was light
Seeking value in Your sight but I was wrong
For all the labor I have done is but a candle to the sun
I can see that it would never measure up

When You say come, rest, should I be working so hard'
When You say love, rest, did You want hands or my heart'
'Cause I have done my best and still I miss the mark
But I remember You said it's done
So I

Come to the water's edge, I rest in Your promises
That all You ever wanted was me here
And if there's nothing more that I can do
To earn the love I need from You
Then all that's left to want is to be near
So I come when You say come

When You say come, rest, should I be working so hard'
When You say love, rest, did You want hands or my heart'
'Cause I have done my best and still I miss the mark
But I remember You said it's done
So I come
