My Friend Who Saves, My Resting Place

 Travelled far, been away for so long

Been searching, grown weary in body and spirit

But You oh my Savior is my resting place

Your presence in my life sent away the loneliness

My irreverence separated me from the Father

Pride and ego reigned in my heart 

But Your humility straightened my wayward path
Your constant love searched me and found me

I long for Your presence and seek for Your mercy

My heart opens up to you, it has a hole that only You can fill

Even if I am imperfect in so many ways
You continue to embrace me and accept me unceasingly

You see my every ways and my every thoughts 
There is nothing that I can hide from you nor would I intend to
And though many a times I stumble and fall
Each day and night Your love for me is renewed

My Savior and Redeemer I thank thee for saving me

My Friend I thank thee for always being by my side
Though undeniably I have fears and so many uncertainties

I will be "still" because I have faith in your plans for my life and my future

Matthew 21:21 Jesus answered and said to them, Truly I say to you, If you have faith, and doubt not, you shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if you shall say to this mountain, Be you removed, and be you cast into the sea; it shall be done.

I Call You
