I'm rested in You (okay) I'm rested in You (I'm prone to stray) Spent my life on the outside Felt like they paid me no mind Me, my sound, my taste I knew right away I was sidelined My door step was the foul line The world saw me as an outlier (Go back to where you came from) Felt like my story didn't matter I felt like my life was a blunder Fight to be seen Wanted to scream I grew this hunger To rip it asunder Biting my teeth Wanna be free I refuse to be the prey I'm the hunter Words are the weapons no malice I mutter There's nothing to cover done holding my breath I need a new way to re-order my steps I'm breathing in new life again Your love my oxygen I'm resting in You, I'm resting in Jesus I'm resting in You, my blessed assurance Cut up the rhythm like God did to my pride Could it be that I gotta die before I dive right in? To all of the madness, survive like Katniss Chasing the wind then burning out like matches The wick of the mind There's a wrestle inside Guess You had to melt away all my callous And out of these ashes I'll be your canvas I'm breathing in new life again Your love my oxygen I'm resting in You, I'm resting in Jesus I'm resting in You, my blessed assurance I'm resting in You, I'm resting in Jesus I'm resting in You, my blessed assurance Running around in this rat race Living my life in the fast lane Didn't know how to use my brakes Driving me insane But then I met you You're my rescue like a lifeboat Salvation found me in the dark With a light show My rest away from weariness The place where I am safe My anchor in the rising tides My refuge in the waves I'm resting in You, I'm resting in Jesus I'm resting in You, my blessed assurance I'm resting in You, I'm resting in Jesus I'm resting in You, my blessed assurance But then I met you You're my rescue like a lifeboat Salvation found me in the dark With a light show
