Jesus, I Am Resting

Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada with one of my favorite hymns. Yes, the melody is beautiful, but so are the words – words that invite you today to rest in the Lord…

Jesus, I am resting, resting,

In the joy of what thou art;
I am finding out the greatness
Of thy loving heart.
Thou hast bid me gaze upon thee,
And thy beauty fills my soul,
For by thy transforming power,
Thou hast made me whole.

Simply trusting thee, Lord Jesus,
I behold thee as thou art;
And thy love, so pure and so changeless,
Satisfies my heart;
Satisfies its deepest longings,
Meets, supplies its every need,
And surrounds me with his blessings:
By his love indeed.

I am resting; I am resting.

Ever lift thy face upon me
As I work and wait for thee;
Resting ‘neath thy smile, Lord Jesus,
Earth’s dark shadows flee.
Brightness of my Father’s glory,
Sunshine of my Father’s face,
Keep me ever trusting, resting,
Fill me with thy grace.

Fill me with thy grace.
