Zach Winters - Give Me Peace and Rest Lyrics

Give me peace and rest, I askAnd deliver me from sufferingBut it comes in waves and birth pangs;My head reels and I cannot deal with this aloneIf you take it all away from me will you give it all back too?Or will you sit me down like Job and give me a talking to?Would you kneel down and resuscitate if I was turning blue?Or do you smile at me because you’ve already been throughWhat I’m going through?So break into my bag of watersAnd lift me out by my heelsDraw my up from my bed screaming -I’m wanting to be born againRunning back my memories (All I have is you)And I am struggling with disappointment (All I have is you)You scared me in delivery - what else could I do?Will you remind me you remember me?All I have is youDo I remind you of Nicodemus with confusion on my face?Was I in your mind when you originally thought of grace?Will you stand aloof from me while I am hounding at your gate?Or do you hold me in contempt while I am grieving?Jesus took a boat out on the lake of GalileeHe was mourning for his cousin John and he’d rowed out to beAlone, but when he reached the other shoreA crowd had followed himBut instead of being frustratedYou had compassion and healed them thereGive me peace and rest, I ask
