A Restless Soul


I had some restless nights
I had some lonely days
Could not see the light
Because of darkness in my way
I had some sleepless nights
I had some long days
Hoping to find the light
Praying to find my way


Praying and praying for strength to make through another day
I found Jesus and He strengthened me on my way
Thou my trials and tests were hard to bear
Jesus said to me "Rest o restless soul your trials and tests are mine to bear"


I had some restless nights
I had some lonely days
Could not see the light
Because of darkness in my way
I had some sleepless nights
I had some long days
Hoping to find the light
Praying to find my way


Thru the night as I rest from my daily trials and tests
It was Jesus that said to me "Lay down my child and rest"
Thou my trials and tests were hard to bear
Jesus said to me "Rest o restless soul your trials and tests are mine to bear"


I had some restless nights
I had some lonely days
Could not see the light
Because of darkness in my way
I had some sleepless nights
I had some long days
Hoping to find the light
Praying to find my way


As my mind, body and soul begin to rest
I remember the day and all of its tests
I say to myself "I will not complain because I am truly blessed"
Thou my trials and test were hard to bear
Jesus said to me "Rest o restless soul your trials and tests are mine to bear"
