Name: Restless Heart
Duration: P00H03M42S
Description: Song story: I wrote this song awhile ago based on St. Augustine's famous prayer, "Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in thee.” It's been a faithful companion over the years -- especially for someone as restless as myself -- reminding me to be still, take courage, and remember the goodness of God.

lyrics

Restless heart, find rest in thee
From all your soul's sad wanderings
He binds you up to set you free
Restless heart find rest in thee

Fearful heart come taste and see
The Lord comes to bring good things
His voice still moves the wind and seas
Fearful heart come taste and see

In the morning, in the morning
In the morning, come rise to see the dawn

When dark shadows fall on you
And leave you beaten, broken, and bruised
The King of glory will see you through
When dark shadows fall on you

But in the morning, in the morning
In the morning, come rise to see the dawn

And in the evening, in the evening
In the evening come hear creation's song, singing...

Restless heart, find rest in thee
From all your soul's sad wanderings
He binds you up to set you free
Restless heart find rest in thee
