Peace and Rest

My heart overflows with praise;
I will exalt the Lord all my days.
Only in the Lord do I find glory;
My lips will ever tell of His story.

Let the deaf hear of His love;
And the blind see Him above.
Let the lame dance and rejoice;
And the mute sing in one voice.

Mind, body and soul sing praise;
Glorify the Lord all of our days.
Both strong and afflicted come;
Let us exalt His holy name as one.

I called on the Lord from my fears,
And He came and dried all my tears.
I, a poor man called upon the King;
He came and sacrificed everything.

He held me close and called me His own;
I am His child and I kneel at His throne.
My body may dwell in this world awhile,
But His promise is the reason I can smile.

Don’t you know you have been set apart?
Chosen to praise Him with all your heart.
A hungry lion may grow tired and weak,
But we stand strong, as His will we seek.

Come dear children, listen; listen to me;
Open your eyes and blessings you’ll see.
Our mighty Lord gives us the very best,
And in His loving arms find peace and rest.
