about

I wrote this song while making breakfast yesterday. Enjoy.

lyrics

You woke me up before the dawn
At first I thought it was just trouble sleeping
But you woke before the world came into motion
As if to show me something I’d been missing til now

You woke me up before the dawn
The light was only just upon the horizon
But you woke me up to see the sun
Rising as if to say you’re rising with me now

And even when I am asleep
Creation it dances to your harmony and rhythm and beat
And when up I’m before it all begins
I get to be a part of the start of your brand-new plans

And I know
In you there is rest
But how can I rest when my soul is spinning?
So you spoke into
The deepest part of me
And woke me up to see a new beginning

And I will find my rest in you
Yes I will find my rest in you
My tired eyes will look to Heaven

I was tired throughout the day
So many things to do and yet I found no energy
Cuz I was up before the dawn
As the birds stretched their wings to sing to you their melodies

But I was tired throughout my day
How am I supposed to be your light when I can’t keep the dark at bay?
But you woke me up before the dawn
So I could watch your world in wonder turn to life just as it’s always done

It’s time to think about it differently now
Tossing and turning so you brought me out of my bad dreams
It’s time to stop asking you how
And start trusting in what a thousand times you’ve already shown me

That I can find my rest in you
Yes I can find my rest in you
So my weary head will lift to Heaven

I cannot control
What you already hold
Everything in my life and my home
But you promise to be
The God that I need
My Yahweh, El Elyon, Shalom
Because you are good
Your love for me is great
When I am tired and all that I feel is stress breaking me
You remind me that you could give nothing less to me
Than all of your love

When I have things that weigh me down
My heart is holding way too many hurts right now
You’ll raise me from my restless sleep
To remind me of your perfect peace

So I will find my rest in you
Yes I will find my rest in you
Yes I will trust your word is true
You are the God who does what He says He will do
So I will rise to sing to you
My rest is found in my surrender

My weakness perfected in your splendor
My vacancies are what you render
Go keep on waking me up so I remember
That Your love is the love that goes on forever

And I can find my rest in you
Yes I can find my rest in you
Until one day I get to Heaven
<3
